my mother also had a bunch of transfusions as a in infant. although she wasn't early, the doctors just fucked up and got her infected with staphylococcus or something. she had a bunch of transfusions and barely made it, couldn't eat any fatty food until the age of 10 without getting really sick. but my grandma made sure that none of the blood donors were jewish. when i asked her why, she responded with "would you want your mother to be jewish?". i didn't know how to respond. but now i understand. thanks, grandma.
