Need thoughts, prayers and/or meditations please.

There are indications that my daughter's grave's disease is escalating despite the usage of the auto-immune drugs that aren't approved for pregnancy and are known to cross the placenta. She'll be 26 wks tomorrow.

They said that they were concerned about her third trimester because she didn't even out as most do during the second trimester. We're just entering it and it's proving concerning.

When she last went to the endo, he said that her counts were up and her goiter had grown even more...significantly. Indicators.

Since she's been pregnant and hyperthyroid her heart rate could get as high as the 160's but always come right back down to 110-120. Well, starting this past weekend and still continuing, it's going up into the 180's just to pee. If she stays up, it stays up. It's rarely going below 120 now...even sleeping and resting.

Also, she's been feeling like she's fading out if she stands too long. Her body's so weak from fighting so hard for so long in this condition and due to heart rate. Also, now, she's extremely short of breath just to pee. A shower leaves her in a crying heap, out of breath and extremely weak. She's done NOTHING but rest.

The dr's called her in for emergency bloodwork and put an ASAP on it, with orders that she's to go to ER with ANYTHING concerning. They've increased her PTU, 1/2 again as much as she's taking now...she's up to 300 mg. per day.

To top it off, PTU can affect the liver and hurt the white blood counts, and she ALREADY has hepatitis right now as well...due to the grave's and hyperthyroidism...her second round with it during all this.

My prayer at this point is that little Jonathan be delivered as soon as possible and him be OK...even if he's in the hospital for a bit. I'm wondering how soon it will be until he's safer out here than he is in there. Also, my daughter will be able to do what she needs to take care of her out of control body...including beta blockers.

My daughter was just 19 this past November, and is the strongest person I know.

Keep them in your thoughts, prayers and meditations please.

Thanks and love,

KD
