Great story Danny!  It proves my point though, some people have more luck than others - what about all those poor people that perished - they sure weren't lucky! It is the same as folk saying life is what you make it, but sometimes circumstances make it very difficult for some people.  We are all different and handle things differently.  I understand what you are saying though,  I am sure that quite a few of us mothers have felt and will feel down when our children with CAH are unwell, and as they get older I am sure our children will also go through periods of feeling a bit down, which is to me is being human and acceptable.  This of course happens in life for almost everyone CAH or not. I wish you well (and lots of luck)
