Chapter 8 grapples with the implications of the author’s findings from her case studies. It highlights how the quest for hope can save lives when it brings families of critically ill children to the “right” treatment; how it can garner families and their children “microadvantages” throughout the treatment process; how it can help everyone involved express the depth of their care; how it can change how families engage with the social world around them; and how it can sometimes breed additional pain, suffering, turmoil, and regret.
