What Are The Repercussions Of Missing Synthroid Tablet Dosage By An Elderly Patient?

My mom is 94 and has been on synthroid for many years. On Dec 19/15 she was moved to a care facility where they neglected to give her any synthroid. My mom is feeling very tired, slept from Wed nigh until Friday morning. They discovered their mistake on the Thursday and started her on the synthroid. What are all the side effects of not taking the synthroid. Should I be worried? Cannot afford to pay the fee :(. Thanks anyway
