Way to go! Giving that first shot is so scary. You did it! You may have to get into that habit of doing it yourself with your idiotic E.R. My bloodpressure just sky rocketed as I read your post. I would call your endo. and have them speak to the head of this hospital to CLARIFY this disease and outline the dangers. It sounds to me like there is an ego trip that needs to be given an adjustment. Why not just call the endo.?!!!!! Why wouldn’t they just not call the endo. to verify this info. WHY not just do it for the endo.’s sake. And when in the hell did they decide the white blood cell count like that is the "norm" for a CAH patient. The NORM.!!!!!! They are (bleepin’!) clueless! You poor thing. I would be calling my endo. today and making sure this is clarified. If something happened to your daughter would that be when they decided they treated her incorrectly!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Ok I am going to breath now. I would gift wrap that new CAH book and shove it right up that doctors........

Ok I had to take a breath. I am glad she perked up and YOU had the courage and the persistence to know, she needed the shot and gave it despite these bananna brains at the E.R.  Sadly to say, we are our own child’s advocate. Call your endo. and make sure this NEVER happens again. Then I would personally call the head of the hospital and make reeeal sure they are all on the same page and then suggest they purchase a copy of that CAH book.  Tonia on this board had to clarify her daughter’s treatment at her local E.R. once. Things have moved smooothly for them since. Let us know how she is doing. Give her lots of kisses.
