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!

That sounds great… and again, my best wishes for the future - I cross my fingers that anything will be good…
