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!

Loose ends

To start, today was a much better day than yesterday. I don't know why, but I'll take it!!

Now I find myself haunted by loose ends. I don't like loose ends. I prefer things to be tidy and complete. When I move, I do all my packing within about a week. Once I start, I want it to be done. Once I start a project, I work on it relentlessly until it's done. When I get home from work, the first thing I do is put things away. That's just how I like to do things.

Now, of course, I don't always get things my way. There are so many loose ends it's making me a little crazy(-er). Tax season is coming up, and I have no idea what to expect. I do know I won't be doing our taxes online by myself this year! We're still waiting for medical bills to start rolling in so that we can start getting them paid. We want to move, but need to get a better idea of medical bills and other expenses before we can really start looking. All of these things require waiting, and patience is not one of my virtues at the moment!

I am thankful for all of the support we've received, financial and otherwise. It does make these loose ends much more of an annoyance, rather than something to be feared. Just one of the many things we have to be thankful for!
