Children's Palliative Care
Coalition of Michigan
Our mission is to provide resources for, and to advocate for, medical professionals, volunteers and families caring for children with life-limiting illnesses, and to ensure the availability of compassionate, comprehensive care across the State of Michigan.
We'll hear from a couple, both healthcare providers, on their experience taking care of their children, one of which is their 5 year-old son who has GRIN2A congenital mutation associated with hypotonic cerebral palsy, complex seizure disorder now identified as mitochondrial myopathy associated with refractory infantile spasms despite multiple AEDs and dysphagia, GERD, and FTT now post gastrostomy tube placement. He has impaired vision and global developmental delay, and has many episodes of irritability and sleep disturbance associated with continuous arching movements.
