We sorta thought we were out of the woods with Norah for the time being, but that’ll teach us to get comfortable.  After 3 weeks on the medication to tell her thyroid to quit over-producing, yesterday she had an allergic reaction to it.  Unfortunately it’s the only medication that’s safe for kids, so if she can’t tolerate a lower dose, we’ll have to move to Plan B.  The only other treatments on Children’s Hospital’s agenda are either ablating her thyroid with radioactive iodine or removing her thyroid surgically, so I’m looking into alternative treatments like acupuncture, chiropractic, and/or traditional medicine.  We’ve already avoided surgery for ear tubes by having Norah treated by my chiropractor, so you never know.
