Pediatric Hospice carefor a terminally ill child, what has become normal is no longer playing with friends, going to school, and begging to stay up one hour more at night. Life has become a sea of worried adults, pricking needles, and feeling tired and in pain amidst the bland walls of the hospital. While the decision for the parents to stop active treatment and begin pediatric Hospice Care is a nightmare, for the child, the focus is creating a new more comfortable environment, with less pain, less fear, and as much happiness as possible. Where there can no longer be healing or recovery, at least there can be peace and family.
