Forget-Me-Nots Along The Way

Good News, Bad News...

My husband had his nuclear thyroid scan this morning. I was able to go with him afterwards to speak with the doctor. We had prayed specifically for a doctor who would articulate well and be responsive to questions. Well, God definitely came through with an awesome doctor. The good news is that he does not have cancer. The bad news is that he has Grave's Disease (hyperthyroidism). His whole thyroid has been "invaded." Likely we will have his thyroid radioactively burnt out. We are still reviewing some options and doing some reading. The pills that you can take as an alternative are pretty nasty as far as side effects. We are hoping to get more information today as hubby is now gone for his post hospital check. Considering the severity of his symptoms and having had atrial fibrillation once, we are thinking that he really does need to do that. Still we are going to pray and then decide. The worst part of it is that he cannot be near us for at least three days! So he is going to have to stay in a motel. If it was just he and I it would work, however we have to be 5 feet away from him. That just won't happen with 3 and 4 year olds! :o) This is all a bit stressful but I am so very thankful that there are treatment options available.

I'll be praying for you all.

Wow - great that there's options but tough about how to do them.

Again, I will be praying.
