re: Newborn Screening in Texas

Hi new dad!

We are in Houston and I have 4 boys and 2 with SVCAH.   My 1st with CAH was caught on the newborn screen and the newborn nurse called me and my husband at work as soon as the results came back. It was maybe at 2 weeks or so.  They thought it was a mistake so he went back for his second newborn test and many other 17ohps through his ped and at 4 weeks started his meds.  He is now 4 (on Saturday) and to this day (knock on wood) we have never had a crisis.

Please feel free to ask as many questions as you need. Have you contacted CARES. They are also a wonderful organization directly for the CAH community.

Congratulations on your new son!

Sandra
