How sad and heart-breaking.
FORT LUPTON, Colo. -- A rosary service was held Thursday night for 2-year-old Elaina Redding, who bled to death three weeks after a swallowing a button-sized battery.
Elaina's mother, Donna Ryan, told Denver television station KMGH her family is unsure how Elaina got the battery in her mouth but they later determined it probably came from a small, electronic game.
"It was from a hand-held Yahtzee, an electronic game," said Elaina's father, A.J. Redding.
The girl swallowed the battery on May 2 and started clutching her chest, saying it hurt, her parents said. Elaina's parents took her to Platte Valley Medical Center in Brighton, where X-rays revealed the problem.
