Thankfully, it is easily controlled. One pill smashed in some applesauce and all is fine. <BR/><BR/>I don't like to medicate my kids, but compared to all of the other potential issues that can arise. This one was a quick fix. Hopefully, Logan will not need medication, but I just wanted you to know if he does, it will be ok.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057578956144840305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545700872023273596.post-45821867074160671852008-06-12T17:08:00.000-05:002008-06-12T17:08:00.000-05:00We LOVE our pediatrician - I'd be happy to pass al...We LOVE our pediatrician - I'd be happy to pass along her name if you want it. She's in Appleton, right off of 41.<BR/><BR/>Ruby had an off level for her thyroid last month, too. Our doc called the specialist (pediatric endocrinologist) at Children's & everyone agreed to just retest her in August (at 15 months). <BR/><BR/>Hopefully Logan's bloodwork is fine - how frustrating that they didn't tell you (and even worse that they documented that they DID tell you.)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04082807589185886275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545700872023273596.post-21169328630435288722008-06-12T16:48:00.000-05:002008-06-12T16:48:00.000-05:00***hugs*** Hopefully everything will be okay. Eric...***hugs*** Hopefully everything will be okay. Eric's bloodwork has come back positive for hypothyroidism before, and on a retest was fine. He just has to get blood work more often now to ensure it stays that way.<BR/><BR/>Praying everything will be alright.<BR/><BR/>FeleciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
