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!

Another #tbt
Just another sweet picture that came across timehop today...this is what Henry and I spent much of our summer doing, and I loved every second!! Occasionally while snuggling, I'd think about things I should be doing...picking up, cleaning, school work...none of it even came close to winning out over Henry snuggles! I am so thankful that I had nearly four months at home with Henry before going back to work (and that Carrie didn't mind that I spent all that time letting Henry nap on me rather than trying to get him ready for daycare and sleeping more independently!) I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it...I am glad that I put Henry first, and that I did appreciate the time we had. I honestly don't think that we could have enjoyed him more, even had we known how short our time together would be. I hope that's what people can take from our story...enjoy each other as though your days are numbered (since in all reality they are.) And on that somber note, here's a sweet baby picture to lift your spirits!
