On Tuesday, Kara Keough, who appeared on “The Real Housewives of Orange County” with her mom Jeana Keough, announced that her son had died shortly after birth.
In a heart-wrenching Instagram post, the former Bravo star said her and husband Kyle Bosworth’s second child, McCoy Casey Bosworth, was born on April 6 at 3:10 a.m., weighing 11 lbs., 4 oz., and measuring 21 inches long.
“McCoy surprised us all with his size and strength (and overall perfection),” the reality TV personality exclaimed.
Sadly, McCoy died, having suffered shoulder dystocia and a compressed umbilical cord during birth.
“He joined our Heavenly Father and will live forever in the hearts of his loving parents, his adoring sister, and those that received his life-saving gifts,” Keough wrote.
Keough — who plans to donate McCoy’s organs — shared the message she wishes the organ/tissue procurement team to read in honor of her late son.
“Tonight, we join together to honor this little savior’s gifts of life," it reads. "Through him, may others find new hope and profound healing... and may he live again through them. May his legacy shine in the form of lifetimes aplenty — lives filled with laughter, compassion, energy, love, and most of all gratitude. May it be said that McCoy Casey Bosworth left this world in a better place, for a better place... that he made an impact... that he was an answered prayer... that he was a hero. May angels lead him in. Thank you, McCoy.”
In addition to sharing Bible verse John 16:20, Keough concluded, “Until we see you again... We love you, McCoy.”
Keough had previously announced her second pregnancy in October on her “The Pushover Project” blog.
Keough and Bosworth welcomed daughter Decker, 4, in January 2016.
Our deepest sympathies go out to Kara and her family for their tragic loss.
