Lien explains how your blood is then processed and tested
When Michiel was born, he was very sick. He was anemic. That's why he received several blood transfusions. They switched his blood with donor blood until he recovered. Meanwhile, all the problems are behind him. Today Michael is a sprightly, healthy toddler of 6.
