Sending you and your little fella plenty of positive vibes...
Hi Kathy -- argh, that was probably confusing - sorry 'bout that. His circulating thyroxine (free T4) was pretty much at zero -- which would mean his TSH was high. I don't have his numbers right now - I looked over them w/ the doc at the clinic and he was basically getting no thyroid hormone on his own, poor little guy. Thanks so much for your good thoughts , it means a lot.
