Well for those of you who know me,  I’ve gone back and forth on delaying surgery and doing it now.  I appreciate every one’s input and advice, especially women with CAH.  I heard lots of let me know what you decide or how it goes.  After going to the conference and seeing the photos of how the surgery is done and the care to preserve sensitivity, we decided for us to do it now.  I am having sessions where I feel panicky, but I still feel my daughter will benefit.  I still feel waiting is a good thing and I wish there was more support for parents who decide to wait.  It’s true either choice can work.  I wish my child was a baby and unaware.  So any parents who have had an older child in surgery, please tell me what was the hardest part and any suggestions.  I still stand by what I’ve said before, that there is nothing wrong with an enlarged visible clitoris.  For me personally, I feel my daughter would more than likely choose to get the surgery done because she has erections.  I’ve heard many women say they aren’t comfortable with them.  My decision may be wrong, but I’m doing the best I can and all I did was worry when we decided not to do the surgery.  This is the most hardest decision I’ve ever had and would not wish it on anyone.  Stay tuned to see if we actually go through with it.  I believe we will, but we’ve changed our mind more than once.  Thank you all for putting up with all my posts and the contraversy they at times caused.  Dr. Poppas is the surgeon and it is scheduled for December 11th.
