A Prayer for Madelynn

Well today i took maddie in for a check up. I was a little concerned because she has been drinking a TON, she is constantly thirsty and then she urinates a ton. I change her diaper all the time. The second thing i was worried about was the fact that she is 21 months old and her soft spot has not closed up yet. Well the doctor said we really shouldnt worry but he was going to send her for a two hour glucose test and to test her tsh (thyroid). The doctor told me that i shouldnt worry and to just call on monday to get the results. Well around 4:20 i got a call but i didnt answer it because i didnt recognize the number. I recieved a voicemail so i listened to it and it was her doctor calling me about her thyroid results. He said they were high, he told me that on monday morning to bring her back into the doctor as soon as i could, he said that i should watch her over the weekend and if anything happens to take her to childrens hospital not any other hospital. Well of course this worried me. We looked online about high thyroid in children and the words that kept popping up was : cardiac problems, eye problems and respiratory problems. I pray that everything will be okay. I pray that if she does have to start medicine that there wont be any issues with her heart or anything. We dont have the results of her glucose test but i read something saying that diabetes is common in patients with thyroid problems. So I am asking everyone to keep madelynn in your prayers that this whole situation will turn out fine and there wont be any long term effects of this.
Thank you!
