RHOC’s Kara Keough posts photo of husband holding baby McCoy before tragic death and says ‘I still wear you on my heart’
REAL Housewives of Orange County star Kara Keough has posted a moving tribute to her baby boy McCoy, who died hours after birth.
Celebrating what would have been his one-month birthday, Kara shared an intimate picture of her husband Kyle Bosworth holding McCoy up to his face, with the pair nose-to-nose.
She wrote: “You would have been 1 month old today. Your baby acne would be gearing up. You would be getting the hang of pacifiers, sorting out your days and nights, and figuring out how to focus your eyes without them involuntarily crossing.
“I would have already bought a complete boy’s wardrobe since Decker’s old clothes weren’t really as unisex as I thought.”
“Your dad would be insisting that babies don’t need shoes, but he’d change his mind when he saw the little kicks paired with your chubby cankles,” Kara continued.
“You’d be taking your first naps in the crib, and I’d be fussing about “the schedule.” I’d be realizing that you, just like your sister, prefer Lefty and I’d be pumping Righty to try to bring ‘er up to speed.
“Decker would want to be holding you all the time, but you’d prefer to be spending your day wrapped around my chest. At least that much is still how it is, my sweet Mack.
“Decker still wishes she could hold you more. And I still wear you on my heart all day. We miss you like crazy, baby.”
Kara revealed the devastating news of her baby’s death, six days after he was born.
“On April 6th, our son McCoy Casey Bosworth was born at 3:10am,” she shared on Instagram, days earlier.
“Weighing in at 11 pounds and 4 ounces and spanning 21 inches, McCoy surprised us all with his size and strength (and overall perfection).
“During the course of his birth, he experienced shoulder dystocia and a compressed umbilical cord.”
She concluded: “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.”
Kara – who is the only daughter of RHOC star Jeana Keough – and her husband share a four-year-old daughter, Decker.
