OMG...I can’t believe this is such a mutual feeling with having a CAH child. Mine is 13 months and his new endo was so concerned about my son’s weight, since he has barely reached the 15 lb. mark, that she was going to have him hospitalized (like if I haven’t been off of work long enough already) to monitor his liquid intake closely and see if we were fit enough parents cause he wasn’t gaining weight like THEY wanted or are used to seeing with children that have congenital diabetes or something. First of all, after 2 months of checking in with me every other week on his weight and his dosage schedule, she then realized that we are doing everything that we can and is now "satisfied" with the results, especially since we’ve gotten his cortef dosage to a better level. This was so tough for us as young parents, and I perfectly understand that by our kids having to take steroids on a regular basis, plus having it INCREASED when they are sick...come on, we all know steroids delays growth...so just keep your mind clear with your child as your priority and relax. I will always love my munchkin with even more care than my older son, whom does not have CAH, yet I also have to let him have his stumbles. I don’t want to cripple him.
