 First of all welcome to the board! I agree with you hearing info in laymans terms always makes sense to me ! LOL On this board you will be surprised at all the information you can learn and how supportive and helpful everyone is. You will learn you are much stronger than you ever thought possible and that all children with CAH are different as is there treatment and meds. Based on what you have told us I would think the next thing to happen would be a definite diagnose of CAH or NON CAH and what kind of CAH she has. saltwasting or not? Obviously then would be medication to stabilize her and bloodwork to get her numbers balanced. It can all be extremely overwhelming and scary........but it is not as bad as it sounds. Cah can be treated with meds and your child will be as wonderful as any child. The best advice I can offer is do what you are doing now and educate yourself as much as possible and research all you can as the more you know the more comfortable you become with the CAH world. Cares  Foundation is a great place to start and they are very helpful with info from meds to Doctors . Kelly Leight is awesome and offers support of all sorts. I wish you luck and strength in getting Jazmin on the right track. My prayers are with you and your little one!

Sincerely

Cherry Lane
