Thanks for your last comments, Angie

Erin had the flu when she was 15 mnths. She got it from a gril I was tending at
the time. The little girl would throw up maybe once a day so her parents didn't
thing anything was wrong. However when Erin got it, it was a differnent story.
She throw up 4 times in a hour period the first day. She also had a fever and
then she started to get lathargic. We did have to give her the shoot and we
were in touch with the Endo Dr every 24 hrs to assess her situation and see if
she need to be brought into PCMC. It was scary!!

From my understanding, kids with CAH have a lower immune system. They are more
prone to "bugs". It can also affects them in more dramatic ways - because of
thier body not being able to produce it's own cortef. That is why we give
stress doses when they are sick.

We had to give Erin the shot after we tried twice to get her meds down without
any luck IT was a hard thing to do, but at the same time, I'm glad that we know
how to give her a shot for emergencies. Have you learned how to give the shot?

Hope everyone starts feeling better at your house. Hope this helped.
