65 surgeries save his life

Today, Karla Rauch is the proud mother of two sons, Ethan (7 years) and Emmett (5 years). But a few years ago she almost lost little Emmett and now warns other parents of a dangerous item that almost everyone has at home.

The little boy gets sick

The parents Karla and Michael noticed shortly after the first birthday of their youngest son that something was wrong with him. He was lethargic, stood totally beside himself and got a fever. When they went to the doctor with Emmett, he said that the little boy only had a cold and would soon be back on the dam. But a few days later, the boy still did not feel better.

When he started to spit blood, the doctor followed his instinct, telling him that there was something else behind it, and sent the little boy on for further examinations. His instinct did not deceive the doctor, because they found something frightening on the x-ray.

X-ray image brings the truth to light

The doctors found a small, round thing on the x-ray. It was a button battery the little boy had swallowed! The battery has already damaged the esophagus and the boy's digestive tract drastically.

Luckily, Emmett is a little fighter. Despite the severity of his injuries, he has survived 65 operations in the last four years.

By now he is 5 years old and a happy boy. He can breathe again by himself, he plays football, eats solid food and thanks to his artificial vocal cords he can speak again.

The parents warn

His parents Karla and Michael know that they were lucky that their son survived swallowing the button battery. Now they want to tell other parents with a website and Facebook about how dangerous these small batteries are. Even though parents think that their apartment is child safe, they should still be extra careful that their children do not have access to the button batteries. Because they are so small that children quickly swallowed them down - and then the consequences can be fatal.
