I am Lela!

Back then in hospital when Lela had her two embolisations, the neurosurgeons needed a lot of contrast medium in order to navigate inside Lela’s body and head while operating. The disadvantage of the contrast medium used, is a hypofunction of the thyroid.

To prevent further damage, Lela was treated with L-Thyroxine since she was in hospital. This medicament is used to recover the thyroid.
So, finally after a blood sample was taken by our pediatrist on last Wednesday and an analysis in the lab, the results showed that Lela’s thyroid was completely recovered! Finally after eight months - a fully restored and functional thyroid … and one medication less!

Simpy as the topic says, our little Lela turned over today and I think it is worth a post!
She already made it to turn from the back to the sides and back again, but today she was lying on her back when she suddenly rolled on the right side and started working with her arms and legs. We were both surprised as she suddenly flipped over after a few minutes of trying and there she was. Lying on the belly with no help of us, smiling like a sunflower.

Most of you may think, that this is normal and every child does this, but considering all the “shit” she went through, Nurith and me were really astonished that she almost did it within the range when all babies start trying to turn over (4-7 months) … and to be honest when she came out of the hospital we weren’t really sure if she will ever make it to turn over at all. Now we have prove.

Lela continues to rock the house!!
