Kacie Barradell is 2 years old, her mother confessed the following: “I took her to the hospital and she was not breathing, I thought she had an asthma attack, she is lucky that she survived.” Here’s what happened to the little girl.
This 2-year-old girl almost died after swallowing a lithium-based battery, which burned her stomach and main arteries. The girl had to spend 8 weeks in hospital and her parents were warned that she could be paralyzed from the waist down.
Her esophagus was in such a bad state that she could no longer drink or eat, and is now being fed through a tube. Doctors told the mother that it could be at least a month before her daughter could be discharged: “I’m going through hell. Kacie may never walk again. Now I want to warn all parents about what batteries can do. She’s lucky she survived. I knew something was wrong because she had diarrhea and vomiting. When the doctor told me what had happened, I started screaming and crying. The operation lasted 6 and a half hours, but they managed to remove it from her body. Now I have recovered my little girl and I hope she gets well. According to the hospital, it is only the second child who survived after swallowing a battery “.
