Amber's mom checking in

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone.

Just wanted to say hello. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Been busy with

Amber's

Grandfather being in the hospital. He pasted on Monday no more suffering from

Cancer

and he was in so much pain. Amber has been very sick. Monday the same time

Grandpa

pasted I was with her in ER with a 105 and higher fever. The Flu poor kid.

Anyways one of

the other things that has been going on with her and I know that some of you

lady have

this also so I was wondering what I should do to help her out. At night after I

would say

around 20 or so minutes she wakes up with her heart racing it really scary to

her. The

goiter has started to harden now. We did get another opinion on her care. And we

were

told she is getting the right dose of Thyroid and she will have to watched every

3 months

instead of 6 by this new doctor. I did like him but he to also only goes by the

TSH levels

and Amber is doing fine now. She has the skin pigmentation from the Hastimoto's

also.

She will be admitted into the hospital to have the test done on 's to

make sure that

she does not have this disease also. We were told that we have to remember she

has

Autoimmune disease and at any time in her life they could attack any other part

of her

body. And there no cure to stop that from happening at this time. Very

disappointing to us

as her parents to hear that they can't do anything at this time to help. Steve

and I are

thinking positive she will be having the first surgery on her right foot

December 14th. All

is going very well for that and were hoping that the implant will work and her

immune

cells do not reject it. She is back at school today and Feeling much better. Oh

and I wanted

to know Amber has her period 45 days apart is that normal for Hashimoto's also

or is it

just her. Thanks again for the advice and support.
