Henry's Story

Henry Leland Seretta was born on April 14, 2014. This little monster invaded our hearts even before he was born. He was a completely healthy and happy baby, until he started getting an ear infection and colds in mid-October. We finally got rid of the ear infection, but the cold symptoms never fully disappeared. Over the weekend of November 8 & 9, Henry got significantly sicker. He was admitted to Children's Hospital in Omaha on November 10, 2014, and was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia on November 11, 2014. He fought hard for nearly two weeks, before passing away on November 22, 2014. This blog depicts our journey through the grief of losing Henry. If you would like to read more about his medical journey, you can visit his CaringBridge page. More photos and community posts can be found at our Hope for Henry Facebook page. Thank you for sharing this journey with us!

Another #tbt

Two months ago today my world shattered. That was the day I held my perfect baby boy as his heart stopped beating and he took his last breath. That was the day I stopped being a mommy to a baby, and became a mommy to another angel instead.

Although it felt like it, my life didn't stop that day. It changed forever, but my heart kept beating, my lungs kept breathing. It seems like so long ago that I last held Henry, last tucked him into bed, last saw his smile or heard his giggle. Yet he is still with me every day. I miss him, and look forward to the day I can snuggle him again, but for now I will learn from his strength. I will take the strength he has given me and carry on. Love you, Monster!!
