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!

Quiet days

I feel as though I've been pretty quiet on here lately. Part of the reason is I've been pretty wiped out...Brady's birthday and trying to get back in the groove post-spring break seemed to take a lot out of me!! Another part of the reason is that I haven't had much to say. Sometimes I feel as though I simply repeat myself, and other times I feel as though I'm simply focusing on the negative. And that's where I've been lately.

March and April are rough months for us, and this year it's been tougher with some added stress at work. Thankfully, some of that stress has been lifted. Celebrating our boys' birthdays also helps put work stress into perspective. Work makes up a large percentage of time in my life, but even so it is not THE most important thing in my life. It has taken some effort to remind myself of what is most important...my husband, my boys (fur babies and non-fur babies), my family, my friends, and myself and my health. It's easy to get bogged down in the stresses of life, and that is what I have been doing.

Thank you for letting me vent, letting me share my stresses and worries. It has helped, and I am hoping that (for now, at least) I am putting myself on a more positive path. Despite the Sunday night blues, I'm planning on making this a better week!
