Update # 33

Good Morning,

This is unusual that an update is on a Thursday but the thyroid tests happened to come back yesterday afternoon.  We had gone to Costas early on Monday, August 12 for a blood draw then we spent the rest of the day shopping in St. Louis.

Prayers have been working again because Jeff's TSH level is back where Dr. Chu wants it.  So no medicine!!!  The only symptom Jeff had anyway was the weight gain and maybe since he has started growing again, his body is just in a changing period right now.  Dr. Chu is not worried and said we'll see him over Christmas for all the regular tests.  

Jeff leaves for Wartburg three weeks from tomorrow.  He's getting things ready to go.  He and his roommate have been talking and planning their room.

Jeff has a two week break at Christmas so we don't know when his tests will be over that period.  Don't plan on another update till sometime in January.  If anything happens before then, of course I will let you all know.   

We hope all continues well with each of you.  School is just around the corner and people will be busy again.  We thank each and every one of you for your prayers and support.  We wouldn't be where we are today without you and God.  Enjoy your Fall and the holidays.  Talk to you in January.

Love,

Marcia
