My name is Jeremy.  My wife and I found out about a month ago that our newborn was diagnosed with CAH.  Of course neither of us had ever heard of it which I found out is very common among CAH parents.  We also have a 3 year old daughter, but does not show any signs of the disease (we are currently get her tested to see if she is a carrier).  After we found out that our son had CAH, we had to find out which type.  He is a non-salt waster.  God has blessed us with 2 wonderful children as well as a wonderful assignment to Scott AFB, IL.  The reason I say he blessed us with this base, is that I did not choose to come here.  But God new that we were going to have a son with CAH and that IL tests for such a disease at birth.  My daughter was born in OK and they do not do CAH pre-screening tests.  I have been blessed with these 2 miracles and was able to get my son identified early.  Many others have lost there children because states not requiring a pre-screening.  I would love to find out if anyone is interested in starting a nationwide petition to make this screening mandatory.  Now that I know I am a CAH carrier, I understand the 1 and 4 chance of having another child with CAH.  These children that do not know they have the disease or are a carrier should be given a better chance.  At least once they became adults, they could let their spouse know and find out if he/she is a carrier as well.  This affects decisions on having more children as well.  We have been lucky, but others should not have to be unlucky when this is easily identified at birth.
