Lauren was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease 2 years ago. Basically she has no thyroid and will probably always be tall and thin her whole life ( sickening I know). Today was our 6 month check-up. They look at her weight, height, check her hormone levels etc... Well today she has officially hit 70 lbs ( 70lbs 2 oz to be exact) which for her is huge. Not sure why that number is a big one for her but she was so EXCITED. Today she said something that really stuck with me. " Mom, having thyroid issues makes me part of who I am. Taking a pill everyday kind of stinks but it makes me feel better. Its just a part of my life.". Love her attitude. The doctor said shes in great health and she will see us again in 6 months.
