Dave donates blood every so often and our church had a blood drive earlier today, so he signed up for an appointment. Alyssa needs to have her blood drawn as part of her annual check up and we've been putting it off because she doesn't like the idea of a blood draw very much. The night before the blood drive, a group of her friends slept over at the church and we figured since she was there anyway she should watch Dave donate blood. So she could hopefully see that it's not too bad and definitely not something she should worry too much about.

Looking at the pictures Dave took as he was donating, I couldn't tell whether she was curious, scared, happy, concerned, grossed out...maybe all of the above? I'm not sure that the experience did anything to ease her concern over having her blood drawn, but at least she knows what to expect and knows Dave gave way more blood than what they are going to take from her, and he did just fine!

yikes, that looks painful, Dave. Hope Alyssa's blood draw goes ok!
