Darren & I started off the day with a trip to Southaven because I had an appointment to see an endocrinologist. Back in November I had a routine ultrasound of my thyroid & they found several nodules on it. So they referred me to an endocrinologist so that they could take a closer look to see what was going on. I ended up having 6 biopsies taken. The doctor said that the right side of my thyroid was "ratty" looking...her term, not ours! She looked at the cells gathered during the biopsies & the ones from the right side were indicative of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Basically, your immune system attacks your thyroid resulting in an underactive thyroid gland. It is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States. So, she did some blood work to check my antibodies to see if this is in fact what was going on. We will find out the results sometime next week.
Once we finished at the doctor we stopped for some yummy Mexican food at On the Border & then made our way home to the kiddos, who were spending the day with our friend, Mrs. Frankie. Grace was very excited to ring in the New Year. We bought party hats, noise makers & sparkling grape juice earlier in the week for our "party"! Since we were pretty worn out from the day we celebrated the New Year several hours early! Darren moved the clock forward so that it read "12:00" & Grace thought that was so fun. We set the oven timer for 10 seconds & counted down so we could shout out "Happy New Year"!!
We look forward to all that 2010 holds! Happy New Year to you!!
