Umbilical cord blood saves teen Adam Getliff

Submitted by

Holland —
Sarah Getliff never imagined another mother’s umbilical cord would save her 15-year-old son’s life.

But that’s exactly what happened when Adam Getliff was diagnosed with leukemia last summer — and no matching bone marrow donor could be found.

Doctors infused blood from an anonymously-donated umbilical cord into Adam’s body. A month later, his white blood cell count had risen significantly and doctors considered the procedure a success.
