Justin's TSH levels continue to rise, but his T3 and T4 levels are still within proper range, so we are scheduled for a thyroid scan. This is a dye test for which we have to go one day for the dye and the next day for the scan, which will take an hour. They are specifically looking at the surface of the thyroid, for nodules or other deformities that could be the cause of the elevated levels. I was assured that this is standard practice: blood work, ultrasound, blood work, scan. Not sure about anything past that. Hopefully this test will find us some answers. Right now we are scheduled for early August.
And I checked on the sleep study and we are waiting for some signatures to be able to schedule the test. She said that right now they are scheduling for November. Actually, better than I thought!
