In an emotional Instagram post on Tuesday, the daughter of RHOC star Jeana Keough revealed her son had died after experiencing “shoulder dystocia and a compressed umbilical cord” during the course of his birth.
Kara and her husband, Kyle Bosworth also share daughter Decker Kate, aged four.
Announcing the sad news via her Instagram account, Kara revealed their son, who the couple chose to name McCoy, arrived on April 6 at 3:10 a.m.
“McCoy surprised us all with his size and strength (and overall perfection),” Kara wrote. “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.”
She went on to say that she was donating her baby boy’s organs, reciting the words she wrote for the organ/tissue procurement team to read out in McCoy’s honour.
“Tonight, we join together to honour this little saviours gifts of life,” Kara said. “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,” she said. “Thank you, McCoy.”
Back in March, Kara celebrated the 10-year anniversary of her first date with her “Greek God look-a-like” husband “We split the check, saw a movie, and ended the night making out on his couch,” she wrote of Kyle, a former NFL player whom she married in February 2014. “I was up until 4am smiling like a Cheshire Cat thinking of how polite, charming, and sexy he was. He’s still the same fox he was 10 years ago, and the only thing that’s changed about our dynamic is that now I let him pick up the tab.”
