She has tests scheduled for Thursday, so, for those inclined to pray, please keep Katie in your prayers, especially Thursday. |
Not saying this isn't serious but it is more frequent ( hypo/hyperthyroidism) than you think. I had to have my thyroid looked after when I was in my early teens. With medication ( unfortunately mandatory for the rest of your life) you can live a normal life.
