I got the results back this morning from Ben's blood work. His thyroid function test came back high. It said he was 3.3 and the normal range is 1-2. Additional blood tests are now being ordered, but I'm hoping one of our blog readers can offer some insight. Do any of your kiddo's with CHARGE have high Free T4? Did you have to start treatment? Is this "normal" for CHARGE kids? Anything you can offer is appreciated!!!
On a side note: took bandages off (boy did it hurt and oh my goodness are those things sticky) and the incisions look good.

Amy,
Can't offer any thyroid advice, but I bet there is a bevy of info on the list serv - - did you post there? Also, the archives prove to be really helpful on many issues.
Sorry the bandages were so stubborn! Glad you got them off without too much trauma.
On the school front, glad you found a nurse! I loved reading that Ben wanted her to tickle him! Gracie has always been such a good judge of character, too!

Sorry, I don't know about the thyroid piece either. Glad to hear that the incision site looks good though. I don't think there is an easy way to take off sticky bandages, Ben is one tough cookie!
