In another compelling episode, Dina and Stephanie introduce us to Abby, a mom of two small boys, one of which is her “salt waster”. Little Nash is only seven months old but he is already doing amazing things like swallowing medication in pill form and being the happiest joyful baby Abby could have hoped for. However, not everything with baby Nash is status quo. Yes, although proving to be challenging, his family is managing his CAH quite well. Except for one night when her husband was out of town, Abby was faced with what to do when baby Nash was throwing up uncontrollably and turned a shade of white she had never seen before. What unfolds next is a learning experience every new parent who has a baby living with CAH should hear. In this episode, Abby tells her frightening story about what she was sure was her baby’s first adrenal crisis. From her NASCAR ride to the hospital, to telling her 7 month old not to be so dramatic during a blood draw, to finally explaining emphatically to the doctors what she knows her baby needs, Abby is a true crusader as a new CAH mom. Her super power has been learning as she goes from a group of doctors and advocates but above all, she realizes she is learning the most from her own experiences, understanding what works best for her child on his life-long journey with CAH.
