Update

Just a quick update...sorry I haven't posted this sooner! The doctor that we took Tyson to said he wants to try another new medication for Tyson's ears (what he is on right now--he started it Thursday). If this one doesn't work, he will go to a low dose antibiotic that Tyson will take every day for 3 months. If that doesn't work, they will put in tubes. Please pray for him that this medication will work...I would rather not get tubes put in and I really just want him to stop being in so much pain. He's such a great baby and he's so happy (even with ear infections)--I just want him to feel better!! =(
At my doctor's appointment on Friday, I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. Basically I have an overactive thyroid and it's really not too big of a deal as long as they monitor it and I get medication before it gets too bad (it will probably keep getting worse...). He said the levels of people with severe Hyperthyroidism are 0--off the charts. My level was .1. You could also be praying for that--for wisdom for the doctors as I go for further testing and pray that it is something as simple as being monitored or being on medication (no surgery!!).
Thanks again for checking in!
