Diagnosed with hypothyroidism late last year, Keagan has been on
his thyroid medication for three months now. His second set of labs came back
this week, and his levels are now normal! We assumed they would be because he
has outgrown all of his clothes. The sleeves in his long sleeved shirts are too
short, his pants are too short, and his hoodies are now tight in the chest! I
have never been so happy to buy a whole new wardrobe - for a little boy anyway.
Unfortunately the side effects of frequent naps and sensitivity to cold have not diminished. We hope that he is now sleeping because of rapid growth and the sensitivity to cold will decrease once he actually gains some body fat.
We return to Walter Reed at the end of the month, and if the labs are this good at his next appointment, then he will remain on the medicine indefinitely. Here's to breaking the forty pound mark. We plan to celebrate the accomplishment.
