Sharing Wisdom Pediatric Palliative Care

Tara's son Theo was born with hypoplastic left heart, a syndrome. The family was given three options; A transplant, re-routing his heart (palliative care) or keeping him comfortable until his breathing stopped, (comfort/palliative care).This is a look into the life of the kinds of challenges care giving and bereaved parents face everyday. The rewards it offers and the inherent stress care giving creates. This video hopes to educate people about pediatric palliative care, inspire clinicians and encourage families who are navigating this road with their children. A portion of this video was funded with the help of the California Health Care Foundation and Children's Hospice and Palliative Care Coalition.
