She took copious notes and did thorough research to make sure her son'ss surgery and recovery would be as pain-free as possible. Now she has used her experiences to write a full-color guidebook for other parents to help their children prepare for this potentially frightening experience.

>    Suggestions for supporting a child through the medical events

>    The sequence of events before surgery and how to prepare for them

>    Necessities to have at home during the child'ss recovery

>    Lots of kid-friendly illustrations and even a mini-planner for caregivers

Parents who read and follow the advice in The O My in Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy will feel confident they have done everything to maximize their child'ss comfort and ability to adjust. Children will feel less anxiety by knowing what to expect before, during and after surgery. Dr. Zelinger'ss book helps make surgical procedures as painless as possible.

Parents and professionals are praising The O My in Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy. Philip S. Steinfeld, MD, says, In over 40 years as a practicing pediatrician, this is the most practical, down to earth and informative approach to the impending parent-child-hospital experience with a T's38;A that has come to my attention. Richard H. Wexler, President of the New York State Psychological Association calls Zelinger'ss book a valuable guide for parents intending to provide emotional preparation and support to a child about to undergo a surgical procedure.
