«When Your Child Has A Chronic Medical Illness helps to show the need for caregivers to treat themselves humanely and with compassion. It is a godsend for anyone seeking guidance and tools for assistance in navigating the many challenges that arise within themselves, their caregiving support circle, the medical and social program arenas. It shines a light on difficult and confusing subjects with real tools for a reader to take from the book with comprehensive charts and easy to understand advice to help with the many issues that may be encountered. Dr. Sileo and Carol show us not only why, but also how, to practice self-empathy to help with the journey of caring for a child with a chronic illness. Finally, this book can help caregivers reaffirm their purpose with appropriate self-care and experience the beauty and transformation this pilgrimage will provide.»
