We went and saw a new endochronolgist today. It was the third visit to one, but the first to this particular one here in Vegas. We had a great visit. This is what we were told...
As of today, Sawyer came come of the thyroid meds. In three weeks, we will take him in to have blood drawn. Dr. Dewan will than take a look at the results. If the results are positive, he will give us an order to have more blood taken in another four weeks. If, again, those results come back favorable, Mr. Sawyer is in the clear and can come off the meds for good. If at anytime, the results are not good, he will be put back on the meds and will continue seeing Dr. Dewan every four months or so - and will more than likely be on the meds for life. However, Dr. Dewan felt confident this would not be the case. In fact, Dr. Dewan seemed a little surprised that Sawyer was ever placed on meds in the first place based on his TSH numbers. Luckily, no harm no foul.
Great news for our little guy. Next week we meet with the urologist - which is the appointment that Chuck and I are the most worried about. Check back on Thursday for an update!
