On August 7, five week early of her due date, she went into labor and gave birth to a boy, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy through an emergency Caesarean section at nearby Otis Air Force Base. The infant's lungs were not fully developed, and he was transferred from Cape Cod to Boston, where he died of hyaline membrane disease two days after birth. Kennedy was at Otis Air Force Base to recovery after the Caesarean delivery; her husband went to Boston to be with their infant son and was there when he died. On August 14, the President returned to Otis to take her home and gave a speech to thank nurses and airmen who had cared for her. As a thank you, Kennedy Onassis gave the hospital staff a framed and signed lithographs of the White House.
