Introduction:
Explaining
IC to family can be challenging. Explaining IC to children is almost
impossible. We've written this book for parents with IC who have children
between the ages of 5 and 10.
We have several goals that we hope it
will achieve:
1.
We hope that it will explain IC in simple terms. IC is
a big word!
2.
We want it to be humorous and a source of funny stories
between parent and child.
3.
We hope to minimize any fears that your child
may have about doctors, your doctor visits and your long term health.
4. We want to reinforce safety with medication.
5. Most importantly,
we hope that it gives some practical daily tips for you and your children.
This book explains why mom (or dad) might not be able to go outside or drive
to a ball game. It gives children an idea of what they can do to help. Remember .... with time, humor and a willingness to talk and listen
to each other, both the patient and their families can make it through
this confusing time. Good luck and God bless! - Jill Osborne
