Thyrogen Shot #1

And the journey begins.
Today is Thyrogen Shot #1 for Evan. I'm sure he loves that it will be in his butt!
Basically this shot is meant to make him hypothyroid so that when he receives the iodine 131 radiation, his thyroid cells (what are left) will be starving. The cells should then take up the radiation and DIE! So the shot is really important. But it is a necessary evil as it will probably make him feel pretty crappy for the next 2 days. I pray that it does not. But being someone that has hypothyroid issues, it pains me to know that he will be in this state for 2 whole days.
But he is strong and he will get through this part easily I'm sure. And especially if everyone keeps up the prayers. So thanks in advance for praying from 1:30 today until you can't anymore!
