Email me and lets talk - we have been in an incredible struggle with Annies thyroid and medication for the past year. <br /><br />karen shervheim. <br /><br />Oh, and thank you so much for keeping us updated on all the children and adoptions that you are!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691703050177522375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186866833377316727.post-74579098347506588702011-05-24T15:01:11.102-07:002011-05-24T15:01:11.102-07:00All you can do is your best.

What is really more important is that you take it the same way each time. The end result of that is that the absorption is stable. If the kid is absorbing less than what is optimal, no problem. You will know that with the next blood work and adjust the dosage accordingly. So, kid absorbs less, so take a higher dosage to get the dose he needs absorbed. My son has been taking his thyroid medication with milk at breakfast for two years. He is just fine. His TSH was over 100 and normalized on this regime. Figure out how to easily get the medication into him and then you can see how much he is absorbing and adjust from there. Talk to your doctor about this of course but really, with kids you need to improvise and do the best you can. <br /><br />That Yuri is progressing is good. It must be a real challenge living with him at times, especially with three other essentially babes in the house. He is a sensitive kid with no experience with stimulation and will take time. Vent wherever you need to, enlist as much support as you can. You are helping this little boy.<br /><br />EllenEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15645606550608421422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186866833377316727.post-88575331838390206782011-05-24T07:26:00.729-07:002011-05-24T07:26:00.729-07:00Nobody can ever say that you have not been trying ...Nobody can ever say that you have not been trying EVERYTHING to help that boy!

God knows exactly what is needed. I know He does.<br />Your kids are all so stinkin' cute. You are doing a great job being a mommy of 4. Still wish I lived close enough to help. Will be praying though!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893224927335285415noreply@blogger.com
