I have our final stack of thank-you notes ready to get mailed (and my sincere apologies that it has taken this long to get them written!) As I finish them, I want to take a moment to thank everyone who follows A Monster's Mission. I know there are people who made donations, attended the pancake feed, or have been thinking of and praying for us. These are people that I don't have on my list of thank-yous to send, but I want you to know that we appreciate each and every one of you. And if I inadvertently missed someone, please please please don't be offended, or think that we aren't appreciative! I've tried hard to keep track of all the cards, donations, and gifts that we've received, but it is absolutely possible that I missed a few. Although my mother would not approve of this generic, anonymous thank-you message, please know that we have been touched by each and every one of you! We are so grateful for the following that our little monster has generated, and the love and support from all of you keeps us going each day. Thank you from Tim and I, and our favorite monster!
Meet Henry
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!
