Finn is a happy baby and he is tough. He gets his finger pricked once or twice a week to get a red blood cell count and he rarely cries and, most often, he does not even wince. After he gets his finger pricked and a large enough sample of blood is drawn into a vile, his blood is analyzed by an amazing machine that--in about a minute--provides a detailed analysis of many aspects of his blood.
An average healthy individual's red blood cell count should be between 12-16. It has been recommended to us that Finn's red blood cell count should not be allowed to fall below 8.
