Pediatric Pain Management
Real Solutions for Children
Pediatric pain continues to be the most undertreated pain in our nation. Under treated pain can cause higher stress levels, which slows healing time and depresses immune function, leading to an increase in morbidity and mortality of medical procedures. It can also lead to posttraumatic stress disorders.

Blake's Story
Our precious, Blake Gordon Whitehead after a brave battle with leukemia returned to his Heavenly Home three weeks before his second birthday. His last time in I.C.U. was the end of Blake’s earthly journey. Every day his family begged the Lord for a miracle on Blake’s behalf. But the Lord had a different mission for our little angel.
On March 8th, under the advice from his physicians, Mommy and Daddy had Blake removed from the advanced life support machine. They were able sit by his bed and cuddle their sweet son for the first time in weeks. They were alone with their precious red head as he took his last few breaths of mortal life in his mother’s arms. In silence and in peace they held him tight and caressed his little hands and feet. Mommy and Daddy knew that Blakey was at peace and finally out of pain.
Blake’s family has seen first hand the physical and emotional pain that cancer and other terminal childhood diseases can inflict on our precious young ones. Every day and night we prayed for a miracle. We promised Blake a miracle. Your love, generosity, donations and gifts is what the miracle is about. If you can brighten one life and bring smiles to one family in crisis you are part of that Miracle.
