Today mom had her doctor's appointment with the Endocrinologist. The doctor discussed with us her current lab works. Her thyroid hormones level is low at this time compare to being high last time. The doctor ordered for another lab works to be done to see if she needed to go under Radioiodine therapy. I did some research about this and talked to people who had this procedure done. I learned that this procedure may affect her blood pressure level, cholesterol level. Also, I learned that she can't be near children even more babies. So I asked the doctor all about the possible side affect of this treatment. The doctor explained that my mom will only be getting a small dose of radioiodine therapy and should not affect her blood pressure and Cholesterol level but she will continue to monitor them closely. The doctor said that she can't carry Isabel for 4 to 5 days though. She is very sad to hear that.
I hope and pray that When her doctor call us about her lab result that all will be well and that her thyroid hormone level is back to normal.
