My 10-year-old niece was diagnosed with a thyroid problem. She was growing too quickly. There were other problems also. Her mother took her to the doctor and after testing her thyroid was the culprit.

As doctors always do they tried a variety of treatments. None were working.

Finally they decided to try radiation. She did not have check into the hospital. I believe she took pills.

They were told that she should not be around any babies or to sit close to anyone for more than a minute or so. Of course everyone had a good time teasing her about having "cooties".

The really funny part is that every time she would walk past the television the channels would change. They had a lot of fun having her walk back and forth to see what shows would come on.

There is a happy ending. Her medical condition is fine. She stopped growing. She is a bit taller than her sisters but her father is quite tall.
