Sadie Robertson revealed her 8-month-old daughter, Kit, has been battling an “underlying” health condition after two choking incidents.
“A month since Kit choked, and what we thought was a one-time event, [it] happened again shortly after,” Robertson, 28, wrote via Instagram on Friday, May 8, referring to her child’s health scare last month. “That was the beginning of discovering something underlying.”
She continued, “Praise the Lord that for such a scary and life-threatening event we had, it was a relatively small fix [and] because of the incredible doctors, and she is healing now. God really does establish STRENGTH in the mouth of infants 😭🙌🥲.”
Robertson, who shares Kit with husband Christian Huff, did not disclose their daughter’s diagnosis amid her recovery.
“This past month has marked us in a way that will take a while to unpack,” the Duck Dynasty star wrote on Friday. “It has tested faith, and strengthened it. We’ve seen things that brought a lot of trauma, and also seen miracles on miracles that I’ll tell stories about forever! The power of prayer has marked us, the love of community, amazing doctors and nurses and the evidence of God’s faithful hand in the midst of uncertainty.”
Robertson also shares daughters Honey, 4, and Haven, 2, with Huff, 27, and has found solace in prayer amid Kit’s health scare.
“God is faithful, He is good, He is an ever-present help in times of trouble, He is a provider and protector,” Robertson said. “And the church is a wonderful place that displays His love in times like this. It is hard to know how to step back into reality after times like this, but we will one day and one moment at a time trusting the Lord will meet us in it!”
According to Robertson, she and Huff are “working with an incredible group of doctors and therapists” regarding Kit’s care.
“We kindly ask for no further medical advice on this platform,” she concluded her upload.
Huff responded to his wife’s post, writing, “You’re the best mom ❤️.”
Robertson shared via social media in April that Kit briefly stopped breathing that month.
“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,” she wrote on April 11. ““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.”
Robertson explained that Kit “began to choke” while eating a snack that week.
“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,” she recalled at the time. “Everyone 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.”
Kit eventually “miraculously coughed and began to breathe” after Robertson’s attempts at CPR.
