Thank you, Pat.

I keep reminding myself of what you've told me and it helps...alot.

I had to tell her today that it's time to ask the doctor's some hard questions...like when delivery should be considered, when would he be safer outside the womb, etc.

They're helping her find a good pediatrician that will help with this, and of course, her endo will be involved with Jonathan's care as well because he could be born hyperthyroid if her antibodies cross the placenta, or he could be born hypothyroid, etc. if the PTU crosses the placenta.

If this happens, he might have to be watched and on meds himself for the first 8 wks or so.

Thanks again,

KD
