While I'm here maybe I'll update you with more current news... The kids spent most of last week in Richmond for their spring break with both sets of grandparents. I went to Montreal for a Python developers conference (and had a great time) and Nate was in Chicago for the weekend for an economics conference. Then Nate & I had a few days without the kids in Arlington which was nice too. Kids had a great time--yay for having family nearby!
Not a whole lot going on with my thyroid. I had some blood work done and met with my endocrinologist a couple of weeks ago. My Tg levels were higher than we were hoping for, but I'm not supposed to be alarmed. Ideally they'd be undetectable because that would mean I don't have any thyroid cells in my body. The fact that they've gone up a tiny bit since the fall means I need to keep a closer eye on the blood work (do the test again in June instead of waiting until September), and I'll probably get a neck ultrasound and a nucelar scan in the fall (which means another two weeks of low iodine diet, alas). Until then my plan is to not think about it at all.
Hope you're all doing well....happy spring!
