Felix's thyroid seems to be improving with the medication he's been on. His T4 is now at 11.3 (up from 1.45) and his TSH is at 8.03 (down from 18.36). I actually have ZERO idea what that means, but the doctor seemed pleased. We increased this thryroid meds slightly and will test him yet again (because the last blood draw was such a pleasure!) in 2 weeks.
Although the last doctor was sure that this would be a life-long condition, our current doctor was very positive that he could outgrow this after as little as a year of being in the US and getting proper nutrition.
And just for kicks... I had to post this photo. These are a pair of the pants that we brought to Ethiopia with us at the end of April. We had to roll them up at the time. Think he's grown a little???
He looks like he's about to go wading in a creek. Thank goodness Christmas is coming up. I hope Santa brings him some new pants!
(Note to self: Must moisturize your son and clean the bottom of your fridge more often!)

That's kind of like when I took an adorable picture of Lidya sitting in her bumbo on the kitchen counter. When I took it I just thought she looked so pretty, then I posted it on our blog and noticed that our knife set was right behind her. Whoops...hope the social workers aren't reading our blogs!

From a fellow Bethany Board member, that moisturizer thing in Colorado is pretty tough to keep up with, especially in the winter. As a CO native and living there for 35 years, I remember well the dry skin, lips, nose, etc. I hope to meet you one day when I'm there visiting family.
LOL Shawn - with a stainless steel fridge I have to wipe it down every day. I don't know how I missed that (over and over again evidently).
Chris - We'd love to get together!
