Finn had his bone marrow test this morning and the procedure went well! We won't get the results back until Tuesday, but Dr. Gold mainly did it to rule out any abnormalities with in the bone marrow. He also ran some preliminary tests on the blood that was drawn on Tuesday and he did see a few things that stuck out. He thinks we should know a lot more when the Mayo results come back.
Today is a sedation clinc at Pediatric HemOnc and there are a lot of very couragous children here fighting cancer. I can't stress enough how important the care is that these nurses and doctors are giving these children. One family is here with their second child to have cancer. If you are ever looking for a cause to support...this is it and there are so many ways to give.
We will be heading back to Greensboro shorty to enjoy the weekend and hopefully a State win! Thanks again for all the support and prayers!

From Tuesday 8/28:
Just wanted to update everyone on how the day is going...We got here this morning and Finn was supposed to see anesthesia at 7am, but they had an emergency come up and had to reschedule the bone marrow test to 9:30am. Since he had not eaten since 12am, we decided to reschedule the test for Friday. We went ahead with trying to get the panel for the Mayo Clinic and after trying for 3 months we finally got enough blood to send off!!! Finn is now having a transfusion and we should be coming home in a few hours. Thanks for everyones continued prayers and support! It will be awhile before we hear back from Mayo, but hopefully today will prove to have us closer to a diagnosis.

Welcome to Finn's Blog!
Because of the tremendous amount of support from all our family and friends, we thought that a blog would be the easiest way to keep everyone up to date on Finn's progress. We can't thank everyone enough for all the emails, calls, letters, thoughts and prayers for our brave little guy! He is such a blessing and we all LOVE him so much!
Craig, Beau, Adelaide, Fletcher and Finn
