Since my SWCAH son has been able to talk he hasn’t stopped.  He would find someone to talk everywhere we went.  We would take him to his sister’s ballet recitals and we would watch as he worked the room.  He’s pretty cute (if I do say so myself) and quite engaging.  We saw each person that he came upon begin with a sweet smile of amusement at his charisma, then they would look around the room laughing at his tenacity, then they began to tire from his relentless questions and finally we would go and rescue them from our little chatter box.  It always ended with laughter and a new friend found.

My son also has a great zest for life and a sparkle in his eyes (his picture happens to be at the top of the MB banner today).  This is the exact indicator we look for to tell if he is not feeling well.  It is literally as if someone is dimming the lights behind his eyes and it’s all downhill from there.

If we get to a point where he is definitely heading into an adrenal crisis, we don’t hesitate to give him "the shot".  Then, within 20 - 25 minutes, he is up and chatting again at a fevered pace for the next 24 - 48 hours.

I guess his chattiness can be related to the steroids given for the CAH, but my husband is equally as talkative and I  can hold my own.  My poor daughter can’t get a word in edgewise(;>).
