Hashimoto's Disease?

Okay well its Saturday,

We went to the doctor yesterday about Marc's thyroid level being low, well it was like extremely low~ he was the medical mystery of the week at the doc's office. Lowest he has ever seen! (even beat out a friend of ours, not that we were competing). Anyhow...they did a full Thyroid work up now and we awaiting results for that now. If indeed all this blood comes back as the doctor expects than he will be officially diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease. That basically means his body isn't producing any of the chemicals needed to make your thyroid function. If the blood work comes back with another issue, then they look into the pituitary gland issues, we are hoping for the first rather than the second, of course because its an easier fix and non threatening for the most part. Anyhow we are waiting now, to start on anything due to the results holding the answers we need to make a guess at what type of dose he needs to start with. Anyhow....keep praying for him ~currently his thyroid is functioning at less than 1% capacity.

Other news...I started my computer class today and I am already hating it! UGH...much harder than I thought, I feel like a complete idiot! So pray for me as well the next 5 weeks of Saturdays will be very stressful for me! :(

Well gotta run just wanted to update you all!

Until next time......
