Giving Blood

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at Stanford
Hospital I got to know a little girl named Liza who was suffering
from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery
appeared to be a blood transfusion from her five-year old brother,
who had miraculously survived the same disease and had
developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness.

The doctor explained the situation to her little brother,
and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his
sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep
breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save Liza." As the
transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and
smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks.

Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up
at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice. "Will I start to
die right away?"

Being young, the boy had misunderstood the doctor; he
thought he was going to have to give her all his blood.
