I definitly don’t see the CAH as a blessing in any way, but I do consider my son a blessing.  He is the light of my life along with God and my husband.  He is great!  In fact we had considered have the new testing done where they can test embryos for the CAH and only implant the new ones; however, I have now decided against that because as I told my husband if we had know before his birth that we carried CAH and we had had the testing done with embryos we would have thrown our son in the trash because he would not have been good enough.  After this realization I could not take part in such a procedure because my son is great, and he is going to have a great life.  Furthermore, I will not judge anyone that decided to have such procedures done because I do believe you must do what is right for you.  And if I carried a genetic disorder that caused definite death I would probably do it.  Anyway I just felt the need to type all this.  Of course I would love to take my son’s CAH away.  I would do it in a minute if given the opportunity, but he is a blessing!  I can’t even explain the love I feel for him! As my husband puts it, he is the man!  Ha!
