When 10-year old Xenia suddenly began complaining of stomachaches every morning, her mom, Sarah, wasn’t alarmed at first. ” I thought she just didn’t want to eat breakfast,” she said. But when school started, Xenia began going to the nurse’s office daily with stomach pains. Soon, she was refusing to go to school. After ruling out allergies and other medical conditions, Xenia’s pediatrician referred her to a child psychiatric nurse practitioner.
