Hypothyroidism

I official decided (again) that the health care in Tallahassee stinks... My goddaughter hasn't grown since she was born and they kept saying she was fine but now that she is approaching the age of three, and still hasn't grown, they are finally worried and did some tests... Well, they think it is hypothyroidism... "Infants will grow and develop normally if hypothyroidism is treated within the first month of life. Untreated hypothyroidism in infants can cause brain damage, leading to mental retardation and developmental delays." Anyways, it makes me made because it is easily diagnosed and they still are too unskilled to know for sure... She'll have to be on medication for the rest of her life if she does have the disease... yeah... so that is all...
