LauraI know right now things are so overwhelming. A new baby can be that way without any medical conditions. You are sleep walking, hormones are raging, you can’t remember the last time you had a good shower, or ate a warm meal, and you are entering the "unknown" world of this thing called CAH. I can still remember the first time they told me my daughter had CAH. I was devasted and never felt so alone. No one had CAH that I knew of. How could you go to your neighbor and explain all these worries if they didn’t even know the world you now lived in. Then I found this message board when my daugher just turned 2. It was as if I was reconnected to the world. What a difference it would make to just read, "hey I have been there done that and we have all survived." I just cried reading your post and my daughter who is 7 AND A HALF (gotta add that half) asked why I was crying. I told her how being a new mom was hard and how hard it was to know I had to give medication to her when she was first born and this mom on the message board was new ect. I told her how knowing she had CAH was a little scary at first ect. (she is a mature kid so she understands) She looked at me and said, "And see I am a normal every day kid." I cried again. So just think, one day your son will be standing behind you asking you why you are crying at some new mom’s post. And with a reasurring hug he will say the same thing, "Hey mom, I am a normal every day kid." I promise you. Until then take one day at a time. God bless.
