Docs today..

[Guest guest]

Augh, today was rough..although my mind was else where.. the doc

went over the pathology report and even on the report it says will

follow up but there has been no follow up..the report does show a

normal thyroid though..he gave me a lab slip for T4 only and says he

will talk to the ENDO directly and make sure I have a follow up with

in a week..

Now the distraction.. my boys all had well checks today..I had him

check the older one ( 10 ) over a little better as I know the last 6

weeks he has been a little off, feel bad complaining, I mean he

still has twice the energy as any kid his age but for him he is only

running at about 80% and well mommy knows best..so his bloodwork

consists of TSH, FT4, WBC and RBC with all differentials

variants,enemias and random glucose screen..I am usually good on

keeping my boys healthy and keeping an eye on them but his physical

through me for a loop..

My concern..he has been more tired and clingy but not sleeping

well.. after physical exercise his stomach hurts..the odd time

another body part will hurt..this off course is coming from an Elite

athlete that runs circles around most kids..

What the doc found..high pulse, not the stomach but stomach muscles,

and back muscles and almost every other muscle is weak and tender,

small goiter..lost 3 lbs the last 6 months..says he is urinating

more often, semi loose bowels..

I am so not ready for this, I knew something was off but was not

expecting this..lets hope the tests come back fine and he just has

an infection..

Being his first set of blood work and him being moody and more

sensitive right now it actually took two trips to the lab today to

get him to agree to do the bloodwork, otherwise we were heading to

Children's hospital to get it done..I am really not looking foward

to any follow blood work..

I went through this with my younger one 4 years ago, and thankfully

it was only transient hyper from the norwalk virus but he still does

follow up bloodwork and thankfully is good with bloodwork..lol he

even offered to do it for his brother and got mad the doc missed him

for his..

So now I am up late trying to find kids symptoms and banging my head

against a wall as to why I left it for his well check instead of two

weeks ago when I knew for sure he was off a little and kind of

dismissed it as him maybe starting early signs of puberty or just

with the weather change and being hot and not sleeping to maybe him

finally slowing down a little and maybe finding his off switch?

Lets hope it shows nothing...
