Sadie Robertson Huff Shares Frightening Story of Baby’s Choking Scare, Praises God for ‘Miracle’
Author and podcast host Sadie Robertson Huff is praising God and encouraging parents to learn life-saving skills after her eight-month-old daughter, Kit, survived a frightening choking scare thanks to her family’s quick action.
The youngster even spent a night in the hospital.
Huff opened up about the frightening ordeal on Instagram over the weekend, which unfolded while her family was on vacation. She accompanied the post with a photo of Kit and the song Million Little Miracles by Elevation Worship and Maverick City Music.
“This feels hard to talk about in my real life, much less on social media, but I do feel it is worth sharing because I truly believe awareness of it will save lives,” she wrote.
“I’m currently walking through the waves of anxiety from the trauma of the situation, and the immense gratitude for the miracle of Kit’s full recovery and God’s undeniable hand on this situation,” Huff wrote. “I’ve been off social media and having my family and amazing team help me on here for some time while I work on having a sound mind. With all that said, I want to share to help raise awareness.
“Kit was sitting in her high chair this week, eating a snack while I was finishing up dinner prep, when she began to choke. Within seconds, you could tell the severity of the situation. My mom pulled her from the high chair and placed my girl into my arms just as she stopped breathing.”
The family, she wrote, “went into action and into prayer.”
“Mom called 911, I started CPR, and everyone began to pray out loud and move the other kids downstairs,” Huff wrote. “I am one of those people who likes to be prepared for all situations, so I’ve watched several videos while hoping and praying I would never have to use this knowledge. I can only explain it now like my body just knew what to do. I felt God’s Spirit guiding me, partnering with me in what I had learned and seen. I remember saying out loud, ‘What do I do?’ and then immediately started doing it and declaring life. After following protocol for a baby choking and doing CPR, Kit miraculously coughed and began to breathe, just as the paramedics arrived… it was truly terrifying, but God.”
Huff rode in the ambulance with Kit, saying she was “still afraid, but praising God.” Her husband, Christian, drove behind and told her later, “There was a rainbow over the ambulance the whole way there.”
“We stayed the night for observation,” Huff wrote, “but she charmed the nurses just a few hours later and is now perfectly healthy, happy, and brightening everyone’s day!”
Huff said she’s sharing details about the ordeal not only as a testimony of God’s power but also to encourage other moms and dads to be prepared for a similar situation.
“It happened SO fast, and I’m so thankful I was able to go straight into action! We know that God has our children in His hands – we are not in control of our children’s breath or even of our own,” she wrote. “We can’t live in a state of fear… we have to trust God in all of it. And also, preparation and knowledge in the spiritual and physical sense can be a gift that you can give yourself and your family! Please join us in thanking God for this miracle!”
Huff is the star of Duck Dynasty and Duck Dynasty: The Revival, and the host of the WHOA That's Good Podcast.
