Jenny,

    Hello, I have a 6-month old daughter who will be having surgery next month also. (Feb.5th)  I feel the same way that you do.  I knew from the beginning that she was going to have the surgery, but now that we actually have a date, I am getting really nervous and a little scared.  What is your daughter all having done, if you don't mind me asking.  (If you don't want to answer that, you don't have to, I understand)  My doctor didn't say anything to us about dialating though.  Our surgeon is setting aside 5 hours for the surgery.  What a long time to wait, but I will be very happy when this part of the CAH is finally over, at least for now.  Feel free to e-mail me if you ever want to talk.
