2While advances have been made in surgical approaches to the management of exstrophy, less is known about the psychosocial development and adjustment particularly as children and their family’s progress to childhood and adolescence. One of key issues that many parents struggle with is how to talk to others about this condition.

  • What happens when my child is invited to a birthday party or sleep over?
  • What does my child’s coach need to know about exstrophy?
  • How do I help my child handle awkward situations liking changing for gym class or dealing with accidents in school?

Emily Haddad and the late Barbara Neilson share ideas and best practices on how to have these conversations with family, friends, and your medical team in this recording of a live webinar with the A-BE-C community recorded on February 26, 2015.

A tip sheet with five key points from the webinar is available for download.

Keep all lab/medical appointments so the doctor can monitor treatment. Buy cheap Synthroid General Health Without Prescription As expected, the undesirable symptoms associated with taking Synthroid are similar to symptoms of thyroid hyperfunction. Busque atención médica de emergencia o llame a la línea de Poison Help al 1-800-222-1222. Purchase Flomax Over The Counter The information within the Reviews and FAQ tabs is proprietary to Everyday Health.

Each segment of the webinar has been broken down into shorter segments for easier access.
