Hey Dana,

                 It’s Jenny, i was just wanting to let you know that what you are feeling is completely normal. Every parent in the world that has a child with CAH feels the very same way you are feeling right now, i sure know i have since my daughter has been born, and now me expecting again i almost feel guily for takeing the chance to have to put another child through all the things that my little girl has had to go through. I don’t think all the homework in the world you do will prepare you for what a parent has to go through, but i sure wouldn’t trade it for a second. When i’m with my daughter, I try to treat her just the same as i would any other child. I don’t want audrey to be treated any different because of her CAH. She’ll always have a close eye kept on her i guess, but i want her to live just like any other child would, no different!

                When Audrey was born i was jealous of all my friends, they had their perfectly healthy children and never ever realized how lucky they were not to have to deal with all the med’s, doc. appointments, blood draws that my precious baby had to do, it seemed unfair to me, and still does. But, i am dealing much better with it than i was. I guess that God think’s my husband and i  can handle it or else he wouldn’t give us Audrey, and i am so greatful that he has, without her i don’t know how i would make it. She’s our world. And if by fate our second child has CAH too, then it’s definately ment to happen that way, i guess i can think of it as a challenge from God to our family. It has pulled us togeather in a way that is unbelieveable. Our family support is awesome, but i would still love to meet some parents of children with CAH and first of all give them a big hug and share some stories.  These are pretty much my thoughs, i might far from professional by posting them, but i am just a mom who is dearly in love with her daughter for who she is, not what she has!!..         Hope this helps you out!
