Saturday, we were able to attend the 2nd annual Place It Safe fair at Hospital!
We ran a booth educating the community about the dangers of button batteries in the home.
This year Ethan and Emmett both shared Emmett's story to families who attended and other boothies.
It warmed my heart to see people warm there hearts to my boys and really listen. Most everyone who lefted our booth, after hearing Mr E tell his story, said they were going to go home and tell their family and friends!
Way to go Em and Ethan!
Our booth was stationed next to the Poison Control booth. They gave us the 2019 statistics of button battery ingestions. 4,700+ cases in 2019 alone!!!
The number is still unbelievable! Share and help save a life! Link in bio www.emmettsfight.org

Believe in yourself now, tomorrow, and forever.✨
Don't get too comfortable with where you are right now - whether you are at the top of your game or down in the depths of failure. Things are constantly changing and evolving and over time you will succeed and you will also fail. It's part of the human experience!💫
You have the POWER to BECOME.
Become what, you ask? Anything you
want to be. The power is yours, and so is the journey.🌟
Believe in YOU. Believe in the journey. Believe in the power you have to BECOME.🖤
Don't give up! We love you and we need you here!🌟🖤✨
xoxo
The DGBK Team💫

Safety WARNING: We've all seen these bright colored magnetic shaped toys!?! Please be cautious having them around or played with by infants and toddlers. I was just notified of a baby who has been hospitalized and undergoing surgery on his abdomin and colon to remove and repair the damaged caused by the magnets that were housed in a toy like this.

Magnets are dangerous!!! When multiple magnets are ingested the polar effect still takes place inside the body. This can cause a tear in the intestines, stomach or colon. Please look around your home to keep small magnets up out of children's reach.

We will be praying for this young boy and his family.

This holiday season please be aware of what items in your home contain button batteries and keep the stored securely out of a childs reach! Flashing holiday jewlery, headbands, sweaters, t-light candels, ornaments all contain button batteries. Lets work together to make this a safe holiday season.

Button batteries are a hidden danger in gifted toys, and Emmett Rauch swallowed one undergoing more than 60 surgeries, countless days in the hospital, and doctors had to build him a new esophagus.
