Thank you all so much for the thoughts, prayers and fingers crossed for our little guy and family. Please send them out strongly right now.

We're getting ready to go and see the endocrinologist. He might have much more insight into the low fetal movement. I'm afraid it's indicative of his being hypothyroid due to the meds for daughter's thyroid. If that's the case he could have a goiter as well and they've not been able to get a view of his neck in ultrasound, so...

It could indicate to the specialist something that the OB's not aware of...there's no answer from OB about his low movement and non-stress tests being so sluggish and barely passing still.

Daughter has had two hospital stays this week alone and is looking at more due to our little guy. However, he's not showing a clear distress to take him at 35 weeks.

Thank you ((((((all))))))) so much for the continued support.

Love & Thanks,

KD

Kimmy

prayers lifted for y'all and especially the lil one right now.

praying especially for great wisdom for the endo

Thanks (((((((((((( chemar )))))))))))))

The endo is extremely concerned. We explained what's going on to him (I don't guess OB let him know...argh), and his words, "Oh, that's not good. That's not good at all." He said that daughter should be very concerned. She's been being over-treated. She's hypothyroid...considerably.

He said she went from way high to pretty low and has been being over-treated with the PTU. He knew her levels were all over the place. Why did he wait another month to see her as opposed to two weeks???

He's taken her completely off the PTU (she was on 200 mg daily). I asked if he would turn around with this. He said he should...he hopes. I asked her OB LAST WEEK if the baby could be hypothyroid..."Oh no" was his response.

So now daughter's still very, very worried about her little guy and worried about going off the PTU (going "crazy" again, severe tachycardia, etc.)

The endo said there's a test they can do on umbilical cord to find out if he's hypothyroid and inject the meds right into amniotic fluid. Daughter's very scared about that. It's all scary and so very complicated.

Let's pray he makes an immediate turn around with PTU absent.

Much love,

KD

for the whole family.

this is getting mind boggling. that poor girl!!

kimmy..you are doing better than i would. i would be smacking those dr''s heads together. something to get them on the same page. i know you have to stay calm for your daughter.

how fast do they think it will take for the ptu to be out of her system?

y'all have to be on pins and needles. can i scream for you?

you know i have been praying. that sweet baby will be here soon.

love ya

thank you ((((((((((((( curious ))))))))))))))))

I am screaming interally!!! I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooo ANGRY...so angry.

OB didn't even consult with endo through all of this???? We asked for levels at hospitals and said no need. Endo waited a full four weeks when she'd been showing massive instability and the potential for hypo last visit??????

God help me. I'm angry.

I gotta say...

You know, we as patients and loved ones say very sheepishly, "Dr. could it be??" We're dismissed TOO EASILY!!!! It's just a SIMPLE TEST THAT MEANS THE WORLD!!!!! A simple phone call that could mean viability and life!!!!

ARGH!

KD

take a DEEP breath. god will givwe you the words you need without letting that monkey...errr...devil on your shoulder speak.

be firm. look straight in his eyes. that stare that he knows you mean business and know what you are talking about.

it infuriates me for dr's to treat me like i know nothing. hmph...they don't know my background.

i dealt with incompetent dr's taking care of my mother. her primary dr did not have hospital rights. something we did not know. hence the hospital appointed dr's didn't feel it their job to talk to dr they don't "pratice" with. between the 2...just about killed her. needless to say...they didn't like very well.

go gettum' mom!

tell jess she has lots of love and prayers coming from texas!!!!!!!!

Praying for you, your family and the little one, Kimmy Dawn!!

Praying that God gives you strength and peace!
