Zaavan Peres

Welcome to Zaavan’s CaringBridge website. We will be using this site to update family and friends. It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that we’ve made the decision to proceed with end of life care plans for Zaavan. Everything that can be done, has been done. He continues to require full time mechanical ventilation. Zaavan has been fighting since the day that he was born, and his body is telling us that he’s tired. He’s weak. It’s time. We have to be attentive to what he is telling us and love him enough to let him go.
Thursday he transfers to an amazing pediatric hospice facility, where we will do everything in our power to keep him happy and comfortable, until he is ready. Zaavan is and has always been the one in charge and we owe it to him to let him die with dignity and grace, on his terms.
All of you have loved and rooted for Zaavan for so long, and we are grateful that he has such a strong and plentiful group of cheerleaders. We appreciate all of the prayers and help you have offered over the years, we need it more than ever before.
