Hello,
Good day.
I cam see the reports in 2011. Do you have a recent TSH report? How is her growth, school performance etc? Any constipation? How is her height compared to class mates?
Please do a TFT and with that we can advice you further. The idea is to keep TSH in normal range and T4 in mid normal range
