Relay for Life versus the nose bleed.

Dave continued to have nose bleeding when he got up today (about 11 am). We had to hold pressure twice. Finally it slowed down. It's really hard not to blow your nose.. but Dave's trying really hard. For awhile I thought we'd end up in the emergency room. Talking about a nose packing is really motivating and he was doing well enough for us to go tonight to the Relay for Life auction.

About 5:30 we went to the Mendel Center to the auction. The silent auction was amazing- they did an excellent job. We saw Dave's new oncologist there too. A short personal story ended with a call for cancer survivors to stand, I was so proud when Dave did. Dinner was very good, Dave loved the garlic mashed potatoes and I had to get him seconds. About 8 pm the live auction started. We stayed long enough to hear the first couple items, then it was time for us to head home.
