Some more cautiously good news! Finn got to add another week without a transfusion...again! Today Craig and Pam took him to UNC for his three week appointment post transfusion and for the second time in a row, his HGB levels (8.4) were high enough that no transfusion was necessary! This is encouraging because when he started out it was every two weeks, then every three weeks, now we are moving to four. But as I mentioned this is all very cautiously optimistic...but we'll take it!
I am going to add another post in a minute with the bulletin for the honorary Blood Drive that will be held the week of Thanksgiving at the American Red Cross on Yanceyville Street. Our goal is to help raise 50 pints of blood for the ARC in honor of Finn. We have learned so quickly the importance of blood donations and the great need that is out there! We hope that if you live in Greensboro you can make an appointment and help us make our goal!
Note: (The Blood Drive is for the ARC in general and is in honor of Finn NOT to raise blood for him. No vampires are allowed to participate as well).
Thanks!
Beau and Craig
