Roberta,

I called the Health Department today and they said that testing for CAH began in January.  You may like to know that so far they have identified two infants with CAH.  So it seems you have saved two lives, which is more than most of us can do in our lifetime.  Congratulations!

If you would like more information, the woman I talked is Janice Hicks and she can be reached at jhicks@vdh.state.va.us.

I hope all is well with you and your newest.  Warm regards,  Peggy
