My husband (in remission with CML Leukemia) was accidently infused with infected platelets. He went into septic shock and died within 24 hours. They said the chances of that were- some astronomical number against- but it happened. So when I see incredible odds against something, I just blow it off. Cause if ---1 in a million chance---- and your the one............doesn't much matter.

To Lori's, I'll add my condolences for your loss.
How proud he would be of you, experiencing heartbreaking grief yet still reaching out to others in need. And keeping a smile on your face.
You are an inspiration.

@jodyjazz I’m so sorry for the tragic loss of your husband. Occasionally people may develop hives or anaphylactic reaction. But having septic shock is really very rare. I can’t imagine how devastating this was for you, along with your husband’s medical team. Again, my condolences to you and your family.
Do you know what the platelet contamination was?
