Update

Dr Grua was really nice. When I walked in he said that he had read his chart that morning and thought that it would be easy and that he had treated a lot of hyperthyroids over the past 20 years. But, he hadn't seen one that felt like I do. He took a lot of blood tests to test the pituatary, the adrenal glands, my thyroid levels...so many tests they had to change arms because the one side ran out of blood...I really thought he would have an answer....everything came back clear. I got that call yesterday morning and it should be good news, right? I cried all morning. For me it was so frustrating to see that my levels were now less than a point high and the day before going my heart had reached 152. Mom called to check on me yesterday afternoon and I told her that Grua said I really should be feeling better soon and that my heart shouldn't be this high anymore and that maybe I should see a cardiologist because he said he had tested everything in his area. Mom said she thought that I could be dehydrated still and that it would speed up my heart...it was worth a try. I got a hold of some IV fluids and the kit to use it, we put 1 liter in and I felt so much better. I got up, helped made dinner, got the kids ready for bed, talked to mom and Michael...when I finally went back to bed after finishing the last two bags my heart was only 107....thats so great. I wasn't nearly as nautious as I had been all day and for the last three weeks. The doctor that gave us the IV kit ordered 10 more so that I could stay on top of it. I'm in a much better mood. I may see the end of this.
Lauren climbed in bed with me to brush my hair...she is so sweet

My bed has an iron canapy thingy around it...it was MADE for a makeshift IV hanging thingy
