We have had quite a month, with every flu imaginable hitting our household and Finn having another surgery. Finn had his last transfusion on Saturday 3/10 and all went well. That next Tuesday I took him to the UNC Ped Hem/Onc clinic for tests and his broviac line had clotted. There was nothing they could do to get the clot dissolved, so we had surgery to remove the line the next day. He now has a portacath, which will make daily life a lot easier. He was able to take his first real bath with his siblings last week and he will be able to go swimming at the pool this summer!
His HGB level was a 8.3 yesterday at UNC, but we are encouraged that it hadn't dropped further after 2 viruses, surgery, and mishaps with too much blood being drawn and being given too much of an antibiotic. Before his last transfusion he had gone 7 weeks which is great news! We just hope his body continues this positive trend!
I am going to immediately post again about a great cause to support in Finns honor, Reelin for Research! Hope you will take the time to learn more about this great organization!
