Hospice

Met with Hospice today while Gabe was at preschool. Hopefully will gather the courage to talk to him soon about all this. Two words you never assume are related – Hospice & childbirth. Very unreal.

When we met with the neonatologist and social worker at the hospital they suggested we be referred to Hospice. They have a perinatal program that will help us with how to talk about this with the kids, creating a birth plan (what medical measures to take or not take), making sure we understand what we can ask for at the hospital, answering any questions we have about the whole process. If she is able to come home they have nurses who will assist us in her medical care and make sure she’s comfortable.
