Since the day Henry died, we knew more than anything we wanted to have more children. As time passed, this goal seemed to drift further and further away. We met with doctors and specialists, and last spring were excited to find out we were pregnant! Unfortunately, that ended in the loss of Hope, and a setback in our mission. We decided to take some time off and get back to enjoying life, rather than stressing about that which we wanted most. In early September, we were delighted to see two lines on the pregnancy test. We've been to several appointments and had multiple ultrasounds, and everything is looking great for our current pregnancy...and we are very much looking forward to welcoming a new baby in May 2017. Thanks for all of the love and support you have given us through this process, and we will continue to keep you updated on our journey!
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!
