Quoting Meg ♥:" Thank you. :hugs: It's not for 2 weeks, but I'm just blah. Monday is a dentist appointment. Such FUNNNN times around here. I feel like a freaking failure of a mom. Sorry, just having a bad night. "
Quoting Meg ♥:" Pseudo-parahypothyroidism and any and all auto-immune disorders that may be making her calcium levels drop to a dangerous level along with making her PTH spike to an abnormal level.... "
Quoting Kelly&Coralie:" You are NOT a failure or a bad mom. A bad mom wouldn't care enough to get her tested and let everything ... [snip!] ... let everything slide. You are doing the absolute best that you can do for her and she'll appreciate it (sooner or later )"
Quoting Ailey+Lennon+Renner's Mom:" REALLY? thats weird. my kid has congenital hypothyroidism and low serum calcium levels (well not ... [snip!] ... that and his FISH test was negative. theyre still doing tests, but all chromosomes are normal, and its definatly not digeorge."
Quoting Meg ♥:" Wow! Interesting. DD was diagnosed at 1 yr old with a hypothyroid. Her calcium levels have always been ... [snip!] ... and synthyroid. Her endo thinks it's the Pseudo-PHT and is treating it as such. I hope your LO is okay! Is he on Synthryoid?"he is on levoxyl and a calcium suppliment (off brand with vit D) they are kinda thinking he will outgrow his hypothyroid (his might have been due to his traumatic birth-- he is still only on 25mcgs and has been since diagnosis-- so 9lbs to 22lbs and no increase needed) but they wont try and wean him off until age 3.

Quoting Ailey+Lennon+Renner's Mom:" "
I live in Cleveland so we go through University Hospitals. Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital.
Quoting Meg ♥:" Ailey+Lennon+Renner's Mom: Sorry don't know your name. What hospital do you go through?"
Quoting Ailey+Lennon+Renner's Mom:" my names Krystal we go thru Akron Childrens for endocrinology. he had all his heart surgeries at ... [snip!] ... with the hypothyroid and hypocalcemia. rainbow babies is great tho! it was one of our choices for open heart surgery "
Quoting the grace life:" *hugs* Praying for you guys. "
Quoting Meg ♥:" Do you mind if I PT you? It's rare to find people who have children with similar conditions to talk ... [snip!] ... Akron Childrens is great as well! UH is a teaching hospital so it's makes me crazy sometimes but it's an amazing hospital."not at all motts is a teaching hospital too.. its quite annoying students using your kid as a teaching subject, but unfortuantly necessary. i got a TON of that because his heart murmur is so "interesting" . ill PT you too
