  My now 11 month old daughter was dehydrated in early January.  She had to have the solu cortef shots every 8 hours for a couple of days.  I was horrified at the idea, but it really was not as bad as I expected it to be.  Will your grandson have to have the solu-cortef shot?  I do know they told me it really stings/burns going in, and for us to rub her thigh after each shot.  She has gotten tough, because she doesn't even cry now after a shot.

 Good luck.

P.S.  At one time someone posted a great website that had an illustration on how to give the shot & other CAH information. 

It is www.cc.nih.gov/ccc/patient_education/pepubs/mngadrins.pdf

*Please note that in the web address there is an underscore symbol, but it does show it because the computer automatically adds the underline.
