The incident occurred while Robertson was preparing dinner, with Kit seated in her high chair enjoying a snack. Suddenly, Kit began to choke, leading to a rapid escalation of panic within the household. Robertson recounted how her mother swiftly took action, removing Kit from the high chair and placing her into Robertson’s arms just as the baby stopped breathing. “Everyone went into action and into prayer,” wrote Robertson, highlighting the urgency of the moment.
Robertson’s husband, Christian Huff, described the atmosphere as chaotic but focused, with immediate calls for help as Robertson began performing CPR on their daughter. “My mom called 999, I started CPR, and everyone began to pray out loud while moving the other children downstairs,” she recalled, describing how preparation and faith played crucial roles in her response to the crisis.
Having previously watched instructional videos on CPR, Robertson felt equipped to handle the emergency. “I felt God’s Spirit guiding me,” she stated, crediting her knowledge for helping her to remain calm during the ordeal. After following the steps for baby choking and performing CPR, Kit miraculously coughed and began to breathe just as the paramedics arrived, a moment Robertson described as both “terrifying” and miraculous.
In the aftermath of the incident, Robertson rode in the ambulance with Kit, still shaken but filled with gratitude. Her husband Christian provided reassurance from behind the wheel, noting that a rainbow appeared over the ambulance during their journey to the hospital. They spent the night in observation, and Kit quickly showed her charm to the nurses, returning to her usual happy self soon after.
Robertson reported that Kit is now “perfectly healthy, happy, and brightening everyone’s day.” The family is relieved, yet the experience has sparked Robertson to urge others to prepare for such emergencies. Accompanying her Instagram post was a touching video of Kit peacefully asleep on her mother’s chest, set to the uplifting song “Million Little Miracles” by Elevation Worship and Maverick City Music.
In her discussion of the event, Robertson shared insights into her family dynamic, noting that she and Christian have three daughters: Honey, aged four; Haven, aged two; and baby Kit. Reflecting on their time as a family of five, she expressed that the transition has been surprisingly smooth, stating, “Honestly, the best transition that we’ve had.” She acknowledged that adjusting from one child to two had been particularly challenging, but the addition of Kit felt seamless.
William Christian Huff, Robertson’s husband, expressed his admiration for his wife in the comments of her Instagram post, adding a red heart emoji to convey his support during the difficult time. Robertson also shared her thoughts about Kit’s name, highlighting its significance. “The name Kit means pure or to bear Christ, which resonates deeply with me,” she explained. The couple had faced some debate over their daughter’s name, but Robertson noted Huff could not deny the beauty of it as they saw the name repeatedly during a trip to England.
The entire experience has left Robertson with “waves of anxiety,” but she remains focused on the gratitude for Kit’s recovery and the importance of being prepared. Her heartfelt account serves as both a reminder of the potential for emergencies and the power of faith and community support during trying times.
