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!

Motherhood

This has been floating around Facebook lately, and I love how true it is. Yet it also brings tears to my eyes when I see it, thinking about my boys and how much they taught me about being a mom in such a short time! And the crazy thing is that I would do it all again. Even knowing I would have lost Brady halfway through pregnancy, or knowing I'd only get seven months with Henry...I would do it again. It was worth the pain to get to carry my precious boys, to get to be their mother. And someday, I will do it all again. Nothing in life is guaranteed. All we can do is enjoy and appreciate what we have while we have it.
