Thank you so much (((((((((( bee ))))))))))))

UPDATE:

I am WAY to angry and upset...

We just came back from the endo's office. His first words when we described the low fetal movements and NST's? "Oh, that's not good. That's not good at all." To later, "Yes, you should be worried...very worried." He had no clue as to what was going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The OB hadn't even been in contact with him through this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Little JJ at the least could be very hypothyroid. If OB had called him, or endo would've scheduled the called for two week appt as opposed to four week appt, this would've been known!!!!!!!!! We asked the OB in the hosp., "Um, dr., could the baby be hypothyroid? Have you tested her levels?" She was right there in the hospital! Why not just dot that little "I"...the one that meant everything potentially???

My daughter is very hypothyroid and has been over treated with the auto-immune drugs which is dangerous for baby. The endo has taken her completely off the PTU. He said the baby "could" bounce back.

God help me, I'm so ANGRY.

There's a risky test that could be done on little JJ and then meds inserted directly into the amniotic fluid. It's risky. He could turn around on his own absent the PTU. We don't know.

OH, and OB was planning vaginal if both mother and baby didn't show distress. Endo said, "NO!" He said c-section is safest route and that if he was set on vaginal it's a MUST that there be an ultrasound to ensure there's no goiter. If there is and vaginal birth happens, it could take his life.

This OB has NOT done his work on this. Granted, alot of doctors don't know enough about all of this, but he should've at least kept in contact with endo because of it???

Thanks for letting me vent. Please pray and send out thoughts.
