Whether it’s treating disorders such as lazy eye and
congenital cataracts or dealing with eye injuries, patients
are benefiting from Children’s new Eye Clinic. Dedicated
to finding the latest and best treatments available for pediatric eye
care, the clinic is directed by Donny Suh, M.D., clinical service chief
of Ophthalmology with Children’s Specialty Physicians and associate
professor of the Truhlsen Eye Institute at the University of Nebraska
Medical Center (UNMC) College of Medicine.
Along with correcting and preserving eyesight, early detection and
examination can help indicate conditions affecting other areas of the
body, including the brain. Children’s new Eye Clinic offers expertise
for these more complex pediatric cases.
“Eye problems should be treated in a timely fashion,” Dr. Suh
says. “After a sensitive or critical period, many eye problems can
be irreversible and seriously affect a child’s development.”
In addition to Dr. Suh, Children’s ophthalmology service includes an
optometrist, the only practicing orthoptist in Nebraska, certified ophthalmic
technicians and a pediatric nurse. Besides the new clinic, a full-service
optical shop is now open in the Children’s Specialty Pediatric Center.
The fact that Children’s is the most comprehensive source of pediatric
care in the region instills a sense of pride and responsibility, Dr. Suh says.
“Many patients’ eye problems are the result of other conditions
that also require treatment at Children’s. To be able to receive the
multidisciplinary care they need all in one place is extremely
convenient for families,” Dr. Suh says. “Working together as we do
here creates better communication and collaboration, which enables
us to provide better care.”

Children’s Hospital & Medical Center and the University
of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) have partnered to
launch the region’s only clinical service devoted to adult
congenital heart disease (ACHD). The ACHD Clinic – currently the
only accredited program in the region to include multiple physicians
with dedicated training in this subspecialty – focuses on
compassionately caring for heart patients as they transition
into adulthood.
Congenital heart disease is a condition present at birth. While once
considered to be a childhood condition, advances in medical and
surgical treatment have allowed congenital heart patients to live into
adulthood. In fact, there are now more adults than children living
with congenital heart disease. For this reason, experts from both
Children’s and UNMC are partnering to treat this growing and
complex patient population.
To provide the best and most innovative treatments, the ACHD
program offers a myriad of services, from non-invasive monitoring
to cardiac surgery and heart transplantation. While each situation is
unique, the services encompass every stage of care and include support
for adolescents and young adults as they transition to adult health care.
Adult Congenital Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist Shane Tsai,
M.D., serves as the medical director. Dr. Tsai is assistant professor of
Internal Medicine-Pediatrics, division of Cardiology at UNMC College
of Medicine. He is joined by Pediatric and Adult Cardiologist Jon
Cramer, M.D., assistant professor of Pediatrics at UNMC College of
Medicine; and Anji Yetman, M.D., director of Vascular Medicine,
Cardiology at Children’s and professor of Pediatrics & Internal
Medicine, UNMC College of Medicine.
The program’s physicians are pleased to advance this unique
collaboration, a logical progression of congenital heart care for
this region.
“Simply surviving these complex lesions is no longer the goal, it’s
the expectation,” says Program Director Shane Tsai, M.D. “We have
different interventions and surgeries we can perform, and we work
together as a group to decide what is best for each patient.”
For appointments with the Adult Congenital Heart disease program, call 800.833.3100.
Children’s Hospital & Medical Center has expanded its outpatient specialty clinics to better serve the needs of patients across the region.

healthy eating
Cook With Your Children to inStill heAlthY VAlueSif you feel like you’ve tried everything to help your children choose healthy meals and snacks rather than fried or fast food, here’s one more trick: invite them into the kitchen to cook with you.
A study published in Public Health Nutrition
found that learning to cook helps children eat
healthier. Researchers from the University of
Alberta who followed close to 4,000 fifth-
graders found those who most frequently
helped prepare and cook meals at home also
had the highest consumption of fruits and
vegetables. They also had a better ability to
choose and eat healthy foods.
Other benefits of cooking with your children
include giving them a real-life opportunity to
use their math skills and a chance to mutually
discuss the link between a healthy diet and a
healthy body. Cooking with your children also
is a perfect opportunity to pass on family and
ethnic traditions and customs.
“Involving children in grocery shopping and
meal preparation is a great way to promote
lifelong healthy eating habits,” says Rachel
McCann, M.D., a pediatrician with Children’s
Physicians. “Children are more likely to try
new foods if they have a hand in making the
meal. They will be proud to share their
accomplishment with the entire family.”
If thinking about a messy kitchen or safety
concerns give you pause about cooking with
your children, you can overcome these issues.
Use the following tips and tricks to make the
experience fun for you and your children.
1. Keep it SimpleUnless your son or daughter appears to be a
budding Julia Child or Iron Chef, it’s best to
keep the dishes you prepare together on the
simple side at first. Let your child begin with
easier jobs and work up to tasks and recipes
that are more difficult or complex.
Simple child-friendly recipes include salads,
yogurt sundaes, mini pizzas, healthy nachos
and decorated whole wheat bread made with
prepared dough, chopped dried fruit and nuts
and sunflower seeds.
2. Keep it SafeAny time knives, hot ovens and cooktops are
involved, safety concerns need to be considered,
explained and enacted. Some to enforce include:
• Always have children wash their hands with
soap and water before preparing food and
after touching raw meat, poultry and fish.
• Closely supervise knife use and
demonstrate proper cutting techniques
before letting children cut anything on
their own. Teach children to cut away,
not toward, their fingers.
• Use one cutting board for meat and poultry
and another one for fresh produce.
• Defrost frozen meat in the refrigerator,
under cold running water or in the
microwave instead of on the countertop.
3. Keep it Age-AppropriateThe kitchen tasks your children can
accomplish depend on their skill, experience
and ability to follow directions. Some tasks
they may be able to perform at different grade
levels include:
Preschool • Retrieve ingredients from the
refrigerator or cupboards
• Stir batter
• Sprinkle grated cheese or carrots
Grades K–2 • Break eggs
• Cut soft foods with a table knife or scissors
• Mash and knead
• Measure
• Toss a salad
• Squeeze a lemon
• Tear lettuce leaves
• Use an apple peeler or egg separator
Grades 3–6 • Carefully cut vegetables
• Double or cut recipes in half
• Grate
• Sauté
Grades 7–12 Depending on their previous experience,
children in these grades are likely capable
of performing most preparation and
cooking tasks. Rachel McCann, M.D.Children’s Physicians

Jack Strohmyer - OrthopedicsAfter going in for his 1-year wellness-check
with his primary care physician in Lincoln,
Nebraska, Jack Strohmyer was referred to the
Orthopedic Clinic at Children’s, where he was
diagnosed with infantile idiopathic scoliosis.
Jack spent the next nine months in a back cast
to treat his condition.
The Orthopedics Team at Children’s is the
largest and most comprehensive group in
the region, specializing in the diagnosis and
treatment of orthopedic conditions in all
children, infants through teens.
Having doctors with experience and training
in treating pediatric orthopedic conditions is
critical to the healing and health of your child.
Because children are still growing, treating
fractures and other orthopedic-related conditions
requires certain considerations and customized
treatments to ensure continued growth and a
successful outcome free of long-term problems.
Following his cast, Jack’s physician, Brian
Hasley, M.D., a pediatric orthopedic surgeon
at Children’s and associate professor of
Orthopedic Surgery at University of Nebraska
Medical Center, transitioned Jack to a brace in a
successful effort to avoid surgery to treat his back.
Jack is now brace-free and enjoying life. From
playing in the park to dancing and singing
along to Disney’s Frozen, Jack’s spine keeps up
with his energetic personality, so well in fact
that he only has to follow up with Dr. Hasley
every six months. And that’s the best fact, Jack!
GraceAnn robinson — Pulmonology Omaha native GraceAnn was just a year old
when she was diagnosed with persistent asthma.
While she has been fortunate enough to stay out
of the hospital for treatments, her family works
closely with Children’s pulmonology team to
keep her asthma under control.
“Asthma makes me cough, and I have to use
a machine,” GraceAnn says. Her treatment
includes using a nebulizer, a device that
Ella Cook is like most 6-year-old girls. Her imaginative personality keeps her busy; she loves her two cats and fills the family dinnertime with stories. Unlike most first graders, though, Ella has survived multiple surgical repairs to her heart. Pulling through each procedure with tenacity and endurance, this tiny titan has spent her young life battling hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a condition in which the heart’s left ventricle is underdeveloped.
Along with three other patients from Children’s Hospital & Medical Center, Ella serves as a Children’s ambassador. Each patient represents the four specialty areas in which Children’s received a national ranking by U.S. News & World Report’s Best Children’s Hospitals for 2014–15.
“This is our highest level of recognition to date. We believe it reflects our ongoing commitment to high-quality, subspecialty care that makes a difference in the lives of children and their families,” said Carl Gumbiner, M.D., senior vice president of medical affairs and Children’s chief medical officer.
Each of the four ambassadors was nominated by the physicians, nurses and health care professionals who care for them. They represent Children’s commitment to providing the best possible care to children.

administers medicine through a mist, every
morning. She also uses an inhaler before play
and exercise and takes medication at night.
Children’s Pulmonology Department is the
region’s largest and most comprehensive
center for the diagnosis, management and
treatment of respiratory, pulmonary, lung and
allergy conditions in children. It is the region’s
only accredited Cystic Fibrosis Center, which
is operated in conjunction with the University
of Nebraska Medical Center. It also is the only
outpatient clinic that provides full-service
diagnostic testing including exercise, food
and allergy challenge testing, as well as sweat
chloride measuring for cystic fibrosis.
GraceAnn’s specialist, Toni Blazeck, APRN-NP,
says the treatment has kept her asthma under
control. Still, temperature extremes keep her
inside and acid reflux can cause a flare-up.
Even though she’s just in second grade,
GraceAnn understands schoolwork is
important and loves to read. She also values
her family and enjoys playing with her baby
sister, who she can keep up with thanks to
the treatment she’s received at Children’s.
eduardo Parra — Gastroenterology & Gi SurgeryTwelve-year-old Eduardo Parra from Nickerson,
Nebraska is known for his energy and
enthusiasm on the soccer field and basketball
court. Despite a diagnosis at age 10 of
ulcerative colitis, a chronic disease of the
colon, Eduardo loves making people smile
with his positive attitude and inner strength.
Every two weeks, Eduardo visits his
physician, Pablo Palomo, M.D., a pediatric
gastroenterologist at Children’s to discuss
his symptom management. Children’s
Gastroenterology (GI) Department features
sub-specialty clinics unique to Nebraska,
including food and hypersensitivity disorders,
liver disease and inflammatory bowel disease.
Staffed with pediatric specialists, certified
pediatric nurse practitioners, nutrition
specialists and registered nurses, the GI
Department offers comprehensive diagnostic
procedures to aide in diagnosis and long-term
treatment plans for patients like Eduardo.
And that’s enough to keep him smiling.
ella Cook — Cardiology & heart SurgeryEven with one ventricle, Ella’s energy and activity
level are on par with any other first grader,
thanks to the level of care she’s received from
Children’s team. The cardiac program at
Children’s has all the elements in place to provide
world-class care, including extensively trained
and highly skilled cardiac surgeons, a dedicated
and experienced pediatric anesthesiology team,
experienced nurses and operating room team
and a passionate and knowledgeable team of
nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
There are no surgeries on the horizon,
but she follows up with Pediatric Cardiologist
Rob Spicer, M.D., every
nine months.
Ella’s spirit, as well as
the spirit and energy from
each ambassador, serves
as a good reminder of
Children’s commitment
to being the best place
for kids.

Balancing ‘Time out’ with ‘Time In’ for a Happy Household
No one said that raising a child is easy. In fact, it can often seem like
an epic battle of wills between parent and child. “Time out” is often
the intervention of choice for parents, but some parents find that, for
one reason or another, it is not working for them or their children.
Often forgotten, but vitally important, is the fact that the time kids
spend outside of “time out” is actually much more important than the
time spent in it.
Kids learn in all kinds of ways, so it is important to teach children
how you do want them to act as much as it is to teach them how you
don’t want them to act. Think of this concept as “time in” as opposed
to “time out.” Without “catching them being good,” you will probably
never achieve effective “time out.”

Time in: Praise a Good Behavior“Time in” means working hard to make sure the time you spend
with your child is enjoyable, engaging, responsive and nurturing.
Pay attention when you are with your child. When you see him or
her doing something you want to encourage, take a moment to
praise that behavior. This teaches your child what behaviors you
support and want to see more often. Engaging in rich, nurturing
experiences to encourage good behavior is called “time in.”
Try to be as specific as you can when giving praise, so your
child understands exactly what you liked. For instance, you might
say, “Good job sharing with your brother,” or “Thank you for
being patient while I finished my phone call.” Praise is even
more effective at reinforcing a behavior when you give it with
a smile or a gentle touch. A hug or high five works great, too.
And remember, the better you get at using time in, the more
effective time outs will be when needed. It isn’t always easy, but
in the long run disciplining your child with love will be worth it.
Time Out: Stop a Bad Behavior Once you’re utilizing good “time in” techniques, you can start
using time out effectively. Time out helps children learn which
actions you want to discourage. If they break a rule, they will
have to sit in time out. The goal of time out is to stop an action
or behavior that’s not allowed. Time out works best for children
ages 2 to 5.
Before implementing time out, choose the behaviors that will
cause your child to be sent to time out. Explain what those behaviors
are ahead of time so your child is aware. To make time out most
effective, limit it to a few behaviors. For example, you may decide
Ashley Harlow, Ph.D.Children’s Behavioral Health
to use time out when your child does not follow directions or acts
aggressively toward a sibling.
For time out, choose a dull spot with no distractions. Be sure it’s in
a place where you can still keep an eye on your child. Sending your
child to a bedroom or bathroom alone can be dangerous. It also can
be ineffective if your child stays entertained or has too much fun in
that space.
When using time out, tell your child what he or she did wrong.
Keep it short, limit eye contact and use as little emotion as you can.
Finally, set a time limit for time out. A good guideline is one
minute of time out for each year of the child’s age. So a 3-year-old
would get a three-minute time out. Set a timer so you know
when time out is over. When the time is up, allow your child
to return to play with no further discussion.
“When it comes to time out, parents are learning how to
discipline effectively just as children are learning how to behave
appropriately,” says Ashley Harlow, Ph.D., a psychologist with
Children’s Behavioral Health. “Time in and time out are tools, and
it takes practice – and sometimes a lot of mistakes – to learn to
use these tools skillfully.”

viTAMin D AnD The SUnBe wise about sun protection but don’t completely avoid the sun. Sunlight is a good source of vitamin d, which can help a child’s body absorb calcium and keep bones strong.
Children like being outside in the sun. But to
protect against skin cancer, painful burns and
even wrinkles, it’s important to use sunscreen
year-round. So how do you choose the right one?
The ABCs of SunscreenSunlight consists of two types of harmful
rays: ultraviolet A (UVA) rays and ultraviolet B
(UVB) rays. The UVB rays are the sun’s burning
rays and are the main cause of sunburn.
However, it’s important to be on guard against
UVA rays as well since this type penetrates
deeper into the skin and can suppress the
immune system. Excessive exposure to both
forms of UV rays can lead to the development
of skin cancer.
Begin your selection by choosing the right
sun protection factor (SPF). The higher the
number, the greater the protection. Experts
recommend an SPF of 30 or higher, regardless
of age, skin color or how long you’ll be in the
sun. To find sunscreen that protects against
damaging UVA rays as well, look for formulas
labeled “broad-spectrum.”
“The best time to avoid the sun during
the summer is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.,” said
Anthony Yaghmour, M.D., a pediatrician with
Children’s Physicians. “Outside of that time,
the sun is not damaging.”
Here are some other tips to help keep you
and your children protected from the sun’s
damaging rays:
• reapply after swimming. Brands marked
“water resistant” will last longer. Reapply
after swimming or sweating.
• Do not use a combination of bug spray and sunscreen. They are not truly as safe
and effective together.
• Think of the children. Children’s
formulas aren’t essential for little ones.
Always choose a broad-spectrum
sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
Children 6 months or younger should
be kept out of direct sunlight entirely,
if possible. Protect them with shade
or clothing. For infants over 6 months
of age and younger children, try a “no
tears” sunscreen.
• Check the ingredients. Vitamins C
and E and beta-carotene boost
sunscreen’s blocking powers.
Ingredients such as titanium dioxide,
zinc oxide and avobenzone ensure
you’re getting broad-spectrum coverage.
• Cream, stick or spray: it’s up to you. Certain forms can work better for some
skin types or body parts. For instance,
gels apply easier on hairy spots, while
creams soothe your face and dry skin.
• look to the pros. Bottles or tubes
with the American Academy of
Dermatology seal meet dermatologists’
recommendations for sun protection.

Undergoing surgery can be a scary prospect at any age, but it
can be especially frightening to children. As a parent, you also
may be anxious, worried and feel like you have more questions
than answers. This is where Children’s pediatric anesthesiologists
provide expertise.
Pediatric anesthesiologists play a key role in your child’s care.
They are responsible for managing pain and vital life functions,
like breathing, heart rate and blood pressure before, during and
after surgery. Because children are not small adults, they have
unique medical needs that require the knowing attention from our
pediatric anesthesiologists who treat these needs on a daily basis.
Children’s offers the region’s most comprehensive source
for pediatric anesthesiology. Our 20 board-certified pediatric
anesthesiologists are specially trained to take every precaution
to ensure the right amount of anesthesia is used for each child’s
unique circumstances, guaranteeing the safest and most
efficient care.
“Outcomes indicate that having specialized pediatric
anesthesiologists as part of the operating room team decreases
complications,” says Mohanad Shukry, M.D., Ph.D., chief of
Anesthesiology at Children’s.
“That makes our team at Children’s
a valuable resource for children
throughout the region.”
The experience and skills of trained
pediatric anesthesiologists can make a difference, whether
the child’s condition is extremely complex or considered routine,
Dr. Shukry says.
Specializing Sets Children’s ApartChildren’s provides the only pediatric cardiac anesthesiologists
within Nebraska who are specially trained to care for even the
most complicated cardiac surgical procedures, including heart
transplants. Outside of the operating room, Children’s team
provides services to patients who may need sedation to undergo
tests or procedures. An additional eight anesthesiologists are
experienced in treating post-operative pain.
“No matter the area of interest or specialty, we want
everything we do to be protocol-driven and focused on
patient care,” Dr. Shukry says.

Physicians use technology like CT scanners, X-rays and MRIs to
determine a child’s condition; however, these procedures can be
difficult to perform on younger children who have trouble
holding still. That’s why Children’s Hospital & Medical Center
has installed a new CT Flash Scanner in its Radiology
Department, which scans much faster so patients spend
less time on the scanner.
A CT scan produces multiple images of the inside of
the body and can be performed on newborns, infants
and older children. This new scanner elevates our
quality of care by reducing the need for children to be
sedated or hold their breath while their chest is being
examined. Ensuring safety and comfort, the scanner
operates at the lowest possible radiation dose, but its
flash technology can get a clear picture at any heart rate.
To minimize exposure to radiation, CT scans are
used only when absolutely necessary, such as in
trauma situations. When CT scans are required,
Children’s uses the minimal radiation dose possible,
carefully calculated based on the child’s age and weight
to decrease any long-term cancer risk. This scanner
upgrade is one more example of Children’s commitment
to providing the best care possible for children.
