Palliative Care at CHEO and Roger Neilson House

The Warren family welcomed daughter Charlotte into the world in September of 2017. Soon after, they were told she would not survive and these heartbroken new parents made plans for her final hours. Those hours passed, and Charlotte kept breathing and living. She was brought to Roger Neilson House and her parents decided to live every moment of their beautiful baby’s life with joy and love. Charlotte’s life was 44 days long, and her lasting impact will always be felt by her family, by the baby her parents are currently expecting and by the staff at Roger Neilson House who helped make every minute count. As this family remembers, “our stay at Roger Neilson House wasn’t about dying, it was about living.”
