Kara Keough Bosworth, daughter of formerReal Housewives of Orange CountystarJeana Keough, is grieving a tragic loss.
Theheartbreaking lossis one that no parent should ever have to go through.
Kara Keough regrets not getting another ultrasound
Kara admitted to placing some of the blame on herself.
One of the risk factors is the baby being larger than average.
McCoy weighed in at 11 pounds, 4 ounces more than 3 pounds over the average newborn weight.
At Kara’s 20-week scan everything seemed to be on track, so a follow-up ultrasound was not scheduled.
At 38 weeks, her doctor confirmed that her baby was in a good position for delivery.
When McCoy was born, though, everyone was shocked at how big he was.
“Maybe they would’ve seen that he had 7-1/2-inch shoulders.
But that’s just going to be [in] my head.”
After six days, Kara and her husband made the decision to remove McCoy from life support.
Now, they’re just doing what they can to cope.
“The night he passed, there was a really, really big wind storm,” she said.
“Every time McCoy takes a sprint around the block in heaven, we hear the wind chimes.”
