yesterday i gave blood! that is big for me! mike gives double reds and is up over 10 gallons… i was always pretty petrified with blood, but i got to thinking about it and i thought………….i can do this! and i will do this! levi was my motivation….inspiration, i thought i can do this for all the kids that need blood everyday, so mike and i went to the indiana blood center together
and when the time came to sit in the chair and be hooked up, it took 3 different people to find a vein that would work! they asked if i still wanted to do it and i said yes, all i did was think of levi the whole time, the worse part was getting poked, once they had me going it wasn’t bad, until i saw the bag of blood,
i thought i was going to get sick seeing that, but after awhile i said “can i take a picture? this my first time and this is big!!! mike was sitting in the chair across from me
so i get to check that off my list:)
