Emergency blood transfusion saved my baby daughter’s life… now she’ll celebrate her first Christmas
A FAMILY that has had three generations saved by blood transfusions has thanked generous donors.
Baby Isabella Mackay needed blood after her birth in January.
Mum Lauren Webster, 35, got it at 15 due to sepsis and gran Donna Webster needed blood in giving birth to Lauren.
Donna, 61, of Blair-gowrie, Perthshire, has encouraged others to give blood, saying: “We’d like to remind donors your gift keeps on giving for many years or, in our case, many generations.
She added: “Isabella was born in January 2024 and received emergency blood straight after her delivery.
“I received blood after the birth of Lauren. Lauren then needed blood aged 15 due to sepsis.
“She has now become a mother herself to baby Isabella.
“This means we have three happy and healthy generations in our family, all thanks to blood donors.
“Looking forward to Isabella’s first Christmas this year is particularly poignant”.
“We cannot thank you all enough. We would like to encourage everyone to consider giving blood, platelets or plasma this Christmas.”
