so meimei got a thyroid test last week and the results came back with slightly elevated levels of thyroid stimulating hormone which is an indication of hypothyroidism. symptoms include decreased growth rate, weight gain, constipation, lethargy, decreased muscle tone and dry skin.
thyroid issues are common with children with Down Syndrome.
so we are adding endocrinologist to our list of pediatric specialists...
geneticist
cardiologist
ENT-ist
ophthalmologist
audiologist
