Gabriel was born almost a month ago and it was one week after his birth that we were notified that his newborn screenings showed an abnormality.  Neither my husband or myself had ever heard of CAH.  Luckily, Gabe’s diagnosis was caught  before he suffered any ill effects.  It has been a long three weeks trying to get his sodium levels regulated and adjusting his meds.  We have been trying to learn as much as we can about CAH and we were thrilled to find this active message board.  We live in a small town and our pediatrician has never treated a CAH patient.  She is consulting with endos at Dornbecker Children’s Hospital and we have our first appointment there this Friday.  We are starting a list of questions and concerns to ask and it has been very helpful to read through the posts.
