I dedicate this book to my three outstanding children who were so
much fun to raise and now are such fabulous young adults. I am so
proud of each of you, all of your accomplishments, and all that you do
and will do to improve the lives of others.

I also dedicate this book to all of my pediatric and adolescent patients
and their parents, grandparents, aunts, and foster parents who were
and are so dedicated to the well-being of their children. It was and is
my privilege to be your pediatric nurse practitioner.
