A Thank You to my Girl Toni! She wrote this post, thanks for sharing it with your lazy blogger friend :)--Feel free to copy this for your own blog.
My sweet friend Karla had a miracle baby just over a year ago. His name is Emmett and he was born 11 weeks early at 2 pounds 6 ounces. He's been a fighter since he was born. And now he's having to fight again....
Over the weekend, Emmett was not feeling well. Not himself. Monday night Karla had a feeling that she needed to sleep in his room with him. The next morning, she noticed that Emmett was having trouble breathing. She took him immediately to Urgent Care, and was then instructed to go to Phoenix Children's Hospital right away. It was discovered that Emmett had swallowed a quarter size battery and it was lodged in his throat. It had already caused damage to his esophagus from the leakage from the battery, and he was rushed into emergency surgery. They are keeping a close eye on him, and because of his discomfort level, they have him heavily sedated, and he will stay that way for the next week. They will then do reconstructive surgery to correct the damage done to his esophagus.
Poor little Emmett, and his sweet parents, have been through so much this past year with Emmett's early birth. And now, they are dealing with this. It was a complete accident that Emmett swallowed this battery. That is just what kids do! They put things in their mouths! It's no one's fault.
Please, please, please pray for Emmett. That he will be comforted while he is in the hospital. That he will heal COMPLETELY. And that his dear family - his mom, dad & big brother - will feel the strength of our Father in Heaven during this time.
We all LOVE you guys sooo much!
