I,too, have a daughter with CAH. My daughter just turned 11. She is the one of the joys of my life. (I also have a son 21 - he does not have CAH.) My daughter was not diagnosed as early as yours. She was 3-1/2 when we found out. Not that we didn't ask if something was not quite right - but were told to "relax" and not be "so uptight" as parents! We have had our ups and downs since her diagnosis, but for the most part it has just been a matter of taking her medications as prescribed. I won't say she never gets sick or injured, but we have been through broken bones, sprains, a tonsilectomy, pneumonia, flu, etc and just had to take a little more care than normal. Twice she had a nasty stomach virus and we had to give medication by injection (something you want to be sure you know about). My daughter is very active. She plays sports - soccer, basketball, softball. She is a Girl Scout and goes camping, etc. She just finished a week of Horse Riding Camp and is going to be taking lessons. She has a beautiful voice and is going to try out for the 5th grade chorus at school in September. She is an honors student. All in all, she does ALL the things any other child does - and maybe more. (Perhaps if she would slow down we wouldn't have had some of those injuries, but they were in no way related to her CAH.) Keep those dreams and aspirations for your daughter. Encourage her as she grows to do everything - just like you would a child without CAH. She is really not that different from all the other little girls without CAH. She simply has a medical condition that is competely treatable. I know when you first find out it is very difficult to accept that there is anything wrong with your child - but what is wrong is not something that should hold her back in any way. The important things are to take her to the endocrinologist frequently for her check-ups and bloodwork and to know what to do if she should become seriously injured or ill and have her wear a medical bracelet. Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful little girl. I wish nothing but the best for her and for you.
