Radio iodine therapy


I'm taking Meepers in tomorrow for Radio Iodine Therapy...if they accept him, they will give him a subcutaneous injection...leaving him radio active for 7 to 10 days. We have been treating him with pills twice a day for almost three years (can you believe he's eight?) managing his hypothyroidism.

When he returns home, we have to have limited access for the following month. I packed a bag of food, his bowl, a towel and a small stuff animal. Please join me in sending him good thoughts tomorrow. We are going to miss him sooooo much, through his special way, he keeps all of us "in line."

Experiment 626! My poor little buddy. Give him a Brenda voo doo doll to chew on, and he'll be very content. Give him a hug and kiss from me. Hugs and kisses to Mama and Papa. I'll be sending tidal waves of positive energy.

Meepers! What superpower will he have after the radioactive dose?

I can't imagine how hard it will be to stay away from him for a whole month.

Positive energy on it's way...
