Beth Hutt, who was almost 6 months old, died early Wednesday after months of battling an Aspergillus infection she contracted at Seattle Children’s hospital.
Her parents, Katie and Micah Hutt, said in a Facebook post Wednesday that they were very grateful to the team that watched over their daughter and made sure her transition was “as painless and smooth as possible.”
“We will post when we’ve had the chance to make plans for celebrating our brave, courageous, beautiful warrior,” her parents said in the post. “Please understand that we likely won’t be responding to messages or calls while we figure out what ‘life after’ looks like.”
Beth was born in August with a heart condition and was rushed from MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital to Seattle Children’s, where she underwent three surgeries, beginning when she was 5 days old.
