So I lived my whole life with that in my records and all the times I had blood drawn, no one thought to check or change it. When I gave blood at 18, I found out I was O+. It totally freaked me out--I thought I had been adopted or switched at birth or something. I didn't think it was possible to be a different blood type than both your parents but my mom researched it and told me to get a grip, it can happen.
There is a nice little chart for this at:http://www.givelife2.org/aboutblood/bloodtypes.asp
It is a little bit down the page. I believe it is the third image.
