Few things are more stressful than having a child in the hospital. When you have more than one child, that stress is exacerbated by the fact that your time is divided in a whole new way. Schedules are confounded, time may be missed from work and some parents even have to go out of town or out of state for treatment. All of a sudden, life is much more complicated. If parents are in shock, dismayed or traumatized, just imagine how a young child might feel. This book is meant to help families through the crisis of having a child hospitalized by comforting the hospitalized sibling and helping the entire family heal.
