[glow=red,2,300][/glow]The testing done last week confirmed my lovebug has hyperthryroidism. She also ended up in the ER. She came into my room very restless and curled into a ball. She had a temp and then threw up a few times and then once when we got to ER. She was vert mottled and gray Her O2 levels were in the 80' and pulse at 160 up to 200. They put in an IV line as they thought she would have to be transported to Children's. She took some Tylenol and that little stinkpot love of mine was back to her old self within an hour or two so we went home. My ex came to the hospital. I guess she gave the Dr a bit of a scare. I imagine it was part viurs and part over active thyroid. She also has a nodule on her thyroid. My ex is taking her to the ultrasound as I imagine I will need to take work off for whatever course of action is needed. Dani has expressed pain in her abdomen area (which I wonder if her heart is pumping to fast and she is having some angina) and has a voracious appetitie. Needless to say, she sleeps with me at night. A specialist is suppose to be in contact soon. Other than that Dani enjoys kindergarten and is in her regular classroom 73% of the time. Just venting as my parents are gone and Dani is my only child. I have great siblings but they are all busy with their own lives. Also a bit worried. Dani does not have any heart issues and we sure don't want any now. Take care, Kim [glow=red,2,300]Dani-I will love you forever and ever[/glow]

My dad & his sister both had to have nodules removed from their thyroids. I have nodules on my thyroid, but so far, nothing prominant. My doc says that one day I will probably have to have most or all of the thyroid outta there altogether, but better later than sooner since I'm asymptomatic right now.
I hear that it's a simple surgery these days, but I'll be praying for you and Dani & the hospital staff all the same. Let us know when they schedule it. (((Kim & Dani)))

I will be saying some prayers for you guys. I know this has to be so scary. I often feel alone too because have no friends or family here to help me. BUT the guys and gals here sure act as surrogates!!!!! Keep us posted. I pray she gets to feeling better.
