Sophia, who is turning 5 today, 4/4, was diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism withing her first week of birth. We went to a pediatric endocrinologist who had imaging performed to prove she had a small sublingual detection of thyroid tissue, but it had never produced any hormone. She was promptly put on levoxly.....Sophia has had her blood tested regularly and adjustments to her medication were always done when necessary. However, she is tracking in the 10% for height and weight and she is very delayed in her mental capacity. She cannot count to ten, put any simple story or process in sequence, etc. I live in SC and was told we could not test her further until 1st grade, but that is too late...is there any correlation between her condition and her mental development and growth. Could she have other hormonal issues that I could request to be tested for?
Thanks
