You know, everyone has said the same thing about the 2 pounds, and yes, you are all right.  Not too bad.  I guess her weight issue has been weighing so heavily on my mind because my five year old is rail thin.  They eat the same things, basically the same  amounts.  Clothes hang on her and Christi has to squeeze in t-shirts that are 6x’s.  She has that large pagan-like tummy and she is constantly tugging at them to keep them down over her tummy.  Breaks my heart.  We live in the country and have a canal that runs behind our house.  We take daily walks down it for excercise, her motivation being going to see Shrek (a cute burro who loves to come to the fence to visit us) and being able to throw rocks into the water.  She has managed to make it about three feet further down the road everytime we go before she gets tired.  Then we return to the house and pop in the pool for a few hours of swimming.  So between monitoring her food intake, guzzling water (thanks to the WIGGLES song about drinking water and our mantra: "God made water" (which she adds, "and Jesus made juice", which she gets very little of but LOVES), I was praying we would be back in the high 40’s range.  Well, next visit with all the excercise, diet and med change can you all keep us in your prayers that we can get below 50?  She has enough to deal with with CAH, I do not want diabetes to be placed on top of everything else.  Diabetes runs rampant in my husbands family.  Thanks to all for the prayers and cheering...I’ll keep you posted on her progress.  Now my question is, how do all of you administer the pill.  She has had nothing but liquid since infancy so any suggestions to get a three year old take a bitter pill would be GREATLY appreciated.

Blessings,
