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!

A Smile for Today

This video popped up in one of my social media histories recently, so I thought I'd share it with my fellow Henry fans.  I've said it so many times...Henry was such a happy baby.  He almost never fussed, though he would get mad if he was extra hungry or tired (thus teaching Mom and Dad a lesson that we shouldn't push the limits on these!)  Even as he got sick with what we thought was a nasty cold, he really didn't fuss.  We could tell he didn't feel well, but he sure didn't complain about it.

This video shows Henry's happy, laid back personality.  This is what we did many days, hung out on the couch; Henry babbling away and me just gazing in wonder at this tiny person that we created.  I very much miss that, and I am so incredibly thankful that we have videos like this one to keep those memories fresh and clear.

So today, I hope this video brings a smile to your face just as it does mine! :)
