Hello all my name is Bethan and i am the mother of Megan who has salt losing
CAH,she is 5 years old and a very livley little girl,she is very well and full
of life.
My husband and i decided to move to to Spain last year and came to the
south east coast of Spain in november 2000,we have three children,Megan 5,Ceri
4,and Morgan 16months,both the other children are well and do not have CAH .
Although Megan is only 5 she is totally aware of her condition and the
consequences that go with it,she has had some surgery and will have a vigina
made for her when she is about 10 and has asked for a blue one please!!!,
Megan was born in Solihull in the West Midlands and was produced as a Boy who
we called Rhys,at three days old we were due to be sent home,so the consultant
peadratriceon came to sign us out and she saw something noone else had ,which
was undesended testes and a small penis,so she ran some tests,the result being
the diognoses of CAH,we were so lucky that the peadratriceon was a
endrocrenoloogist who was inbetween jobs in her field and was due to start in
Coventry as an endro the next month,the results came two days later and it was a
nightmare,my husband wasnt with me as he was his mother in another part of the
hospital being told she had breast cancer (she has sinced died),and when i
returned to my ward the first person to talk to me asked what i had had,and i
said a boy although i new she a girl,but hey that was then and here we are
now,Megan still uses Birmingham childrens hospital for her check ups and life is
good and SUNNY,so i look forward to some mail from the uk and glad to be part of
the group
adios Bethan
