I KNOW that the board gets bogged with woes and sorrows and depressing news .....but this is how we share our stories and health issues about CAH. CAH is a condition my Granddaughter has and we have been blessed to have her living with us for soon to be six years. I cannot put into words how blessed we are to have her. CAH or not. When introduced to the cah world we all experienced a fear of losing  our life or one of our loved ones. But through the fear we have all learned to reach out and share our fears .....tears and growing years. We have made this condition more aware to the public and have given it and ourselves HOPE. We do share our positives in the support we give a young Mother that feels she is losing grip on what to do with her child. Or when we support a family that has lost a child or loved one. The fact that CAH can bring a wonderful group of of caring and supportive people together in good times and bad is an inspiration in its self. We have all found a common ground in our health and hearts for new people and our old friends we see on here regularly. I have been blessed with a lovely child at the age of 56 and EVEN MORE blessed with a wonderful group of caring and supportive people on this board and through Cares Foundation. When I need a lift from the down side of CAH I look at all the sweet smiling faces of the beautiful children at the top of the page. These little souls have such courage and determination and love. I smile when I see there photo and my heart smiles when I get a response from a supportive person on this board. Yes..... Times are tough.......but they are also beautiful when the crisis is over and we share the story and KNOW that people honestly KNOW what you are talking about. Positive is HOW you see something or react to something. It is a choice and I am thrilled that  I see things this way.  God gave me a new lease on life through CAH and Mitzi.
