Hi Mike -I am not from Vermont, but not too far away. We are from RI. Our son is now 9 yrs old and had SW-CAH, how about your son? My son was diagnosed at 17 days and it has been "an interesting ride"! I have only been involved with this MB for about 1 1/2 mos., but trust me when I tell you, its a god-send! My son is treated with cortef not pred., although I know I have heard some other parents speak of their kids being on pred. so I think you will get a good response. Don't feel alone out there, there are more of us than you would imagine. Welcome aboard!
