Ella and Jarrod are one of our family partners in the WCH Foundation Beach House project. Three years ago, they lost their beautiful boy, Hunter, at age 12. After a normal pregnancy and delivery, and at just eight weeks old, Hunter had his first seizure. The doctors were never able to clearly diagnose the cause of Hunter’s illness. He spent the final three years of his life with the Palliative Care team at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Adelaide. Admitting Hunter needed palliative care was one of the toughest decisions Ella and Jarrod had to make, but once they started it was an enormous relief. Ella describes it feeling as if a “weight was lifted off our shoulders.”
