Congratulations! By now you have probably cried more tears than ever in your life. Not only contending with being a new mom, (hormones raging), but contending with this disease/(disorder like some like to call it), and trying to get sleep. I didn't think I would ever stop crying. When my daughter was born with her ambiguious genitalia, I was just blown away. To ask "Well, what is it?" To a dead silence then, "I think it is a girl, no wait I think it's a boy, no wait, well have to see" Then to have a team of doctors surround your baby and talk amongst eachother. Then to say we need to take your infant to NICU and it will take about a week until we can determine the sex of your child. I went from numb to hysteria. This particular hospital never told me they were checking for CAH. To make a long story short they falsely told me I had a boy with no real tests done. The endo. thought he was magical or something. I named my child, the whole nine yards. A week later my infant became severly dehydrated. She was hours from death when her pediatrician caught it in time. Needless to say, this new hospital diagnosed her as a girl and with CAH with in 24 hours of arrival. She remained in intensive care for three days and NICU for another four days. She (knock on wood) at three years old, has been fine. Yes, it is stressful. I found this board in December after praying for support. God gave me this board for Christmas. It has literally saved my daughter's life and mine. You will have good days and bad. On the bad days, we are here to support and encourage you. On the good days, we are here to celebrate your good times too. Prayers are said for eachother. (They are unbelievably magical) Everyone answers question of all sorts. One can never ask too many. There are angels on here that tend to know more than the average endocrologist. We have something better than "book learning" we have experience. Remember you are in charge of your child. Every child is different, and every endo. is different. I gave my infant her Cortef suspension in a nipple after drawing it in a syiringe. Then I made a 2 ounce bottle of formula and put her sodium and water mix that the pharmacy mixed into that. I was afraid if I put it in the whole bottle she would fall asleep with out finishing it. Then I made a four ounce bottle of formula with nothing in it to drink. Yes it was alot of work, but it worked for me. I new she was getting her meds. With the sodium it was trial and error. She seemed to be comfortable with the 2 ounce formula mixed with the sodium. Every child is different. You will be fine. Learn everything to know about CAH. It really helps to know the unknown. There are plenty of sites to visit. Look to the old format. I am not sure if they are up and working. I will check for you. Sorry so long winded, but I just want you to know with the help of God and these angels on this board....you will both be fine. God be with you.
