A family shares their pediatric hospice experience.

A young Massachusetts family shares the story of their decision to partner with Care Dimensions to provide hospice care for their infant son.

[@pamelag6673]

I know I'm late to your story but I felt compelled to post anyway. I worked as a pediatric nurse for several years in the past, I know how stressful and overwhelming caring for sick children can be. HOWEVER, you both have left me amazed! The sacrifice, selflessness and care you provided for your sweet little guy surpasses anything the medical community can offer. I'm sure it is so difficult to try to prepare for your baby to pass and I'm certain that you're still heartbroken... but, as time passes, you'll both be so thankful yours were the arms who held him, yours were the smiles he saw, your voices were the ones who sweetly sang to him and it was your touch he felt each moment of his precious life. You should be so proud, not many parents can successfully do all you did🥰🧑💙

[@cityslickerchickens5835]

You can hear the pain in their voices. After my little 3 year old brother died from a rare leukemia, my parents displayed that same heartbroken speech. They became old overnight at the young age of 23 and 24. Parents who have to watch their children die, are true survivors with ptsd... and understandably so. R.i.p. sweet baby boys...

I so agree with these parents. Nothing can be accomplished by prolonging a life if the baby spends its last days being attached to machines without mommy and daddy’s hugs. Hospice is a comfort for baby and parents.

Agreed. My sister law had juvenile huntingtons in her family, and ended up pregnant. She was a bit irresponsible(age 22) and newly married. She was also very religious. She ended up getting an early abortion and her tubes tied as her brother and 3 cousins all ended up with JHD. Same with her sisters oldest kid. Life like that is not always the best option

Breanne Dixon Did she check if she had it (though not everyone wants to know) because if she didn't have it she could have had children with zero risk passing on to them. So awful to know that your children risk getting a horrific disorder and strong of her to decide to not have babies to try to break the circle of a horrific genetic disorder in your family.
