Kara Keough and her husband Kyle Bosworth are taking the necessary steps to heal after their infant son McCoy’s died on April 6 due to childbirth complications. “We are doing our best to make McCoy’s legacy a positive one, despite the nightmare we’re living,” the Real Housewives of Orange County alum told Us Weekly.
“We’re lucky to be surrounded by so much love and support. My brother Shane is living here as the mandatory stay-at-home orders started while he was on a planned trip to see us. He’s been a huge help and him being here has allowed us take each day as it comes. Kyle’s mom has a place a mile away, and my mom is trying to find a safe time to come from California.”
The couple also “joined a support group for bereaved parents” and had their first counseling session on Wednesday, April 22.
“We know it’s going to be a long journey towards healing, but we’re trying to do the right things to stay on that path,” Kara said.
The news comes after revealed that she had given birth on April 6, but due to complications during her son’s delivery, he did not survive.
“On April 6th, our son McCoy Casey Bosworth was born at 3:10am,” Keough wrote via Instagram on April 14. The little one weighed 11 pounds, 4 ounces and was 21 inches long when he entered the world, according to Us Weekly. “McCoy surprised us all with his size and strength (and overall perfection).”
Kara explained that “he experienced shoulder dystocia and a compressed umbilical cord” during the birth, which led to McCoy’s death.
“[He] will live forever in the hearts of his loving parents, his adoring sister, and those that received his life-saving gifts,” she added of her decision to donate his organs.
One day later, Keough’s brother, Shane Keough, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram in support of his sister and her family’s tragic loss.
“Tonight, we join together to honor this little savior’s gifts of life,” he wrote via Instagram on April 15. “Through him, may others find new hope and profound healing.”
On Monday, April 20, Kara confirmed brought her son McCoy’s ashes home. “Welcome home, baby boy 💙,” she wrote via Instagram.
