Theresa Step 1: inhale Step 2: exhale Step 3: repeat as necessary Now that that's out of the way....I understand your panic; hearing that your child has some strange disorder (or is it the people with it that are strange...:) can be terrifying. Don't worry, it will be all right. I'm 16 with non-saltwasting CAH. Yes, your son will be on medication for the rest of his life. Yes, he might have growth problems (that varies from child to child). Yes, you have to be more careful when he gets sick. No, he is not in any way abnormal. He is your sweet lovable little boy, and your job is to spoil him rotten :) He will grow up to be a perfectly normal man (*sigh* who never seem to find me....) Let your little boy do whatever he wants to when gets older. Sports? Sure! Band? Definately! (hooray for the band nerds!) Couch potato? Well, maybe not.... Anyway, since I'm rambling, I'll leave you with one last thought. If you ever have any questions, problems, frustrations, whatever...this board will always be here.
