I would love to have another child but my husband is very much against it at this point. The older my 6 1/2 yr old daughter gets (CAH-SaltWasting diagnosed at birth) the more he sees the crisis' and futher opportunity for risk. His biggest fear is not for us to raise another child with CAH but for another child to be born with it. It seems so unfair. We have "survived" our daughters condition just fine to date. She had the surgery at 2 yrs old and now swears up and down she has never had any surgery, because she truly doesnt remember it. I dont think its hard on the kids, they just tend to go with the flow. She tends to be a little aggressive, hangs out with the boys and often refers to herself as a tomboy, shes beautiful and smart and very well liked. As for the meds? I dont really think I would take the Dex. We have not talked to any doctors seriously about getting pregnant again or of taking the Dex but have heard of some side pretty bad side effects. Read the board though cause some people are on it now. As I tell everyone who hears our story... God knows what he's doing and we believe he wont' and doesn't give you anything we can't handle. Good luck. Natalie
