Kirsti Clark and her husband Christopher had been traveling on the road for several hours.

They made sure while driving that their infant and young daughter were safely strapped in their car seats, but they were sure to let them get out and stretch every time they stopped.

They thought they were doing everything right.

When the couple finally reached home, it was late and their older daughter Malena was tired and ready to get to bed well past her usual bedtime.

They left the infant, Harper, sleeping in her car seat while they settled Malena into bed.

While Kirsti was getting Malena to bed, Christopher took Harper out of her car seat. She couldn’t seem to get comfortable on his lap, so he laid her on a blanket on the floor.

When Kirsti came into the room, she noticed that her lips appeared blue in color and Christopher then noticed how red her cheeks were.

Within minutes, she clenched her jaw and began foaming at the mouth in a seizure. She began arching her back and throwing her head back, not like a normal seizure at all said Kirsti. The couple rushed their infant to the hospital.

Kirsti says she couldn’t tell on the way there if her daughter was breathing, but was praying the whole time that she’d be okay.

Luckily, hospital staff was able to get her breathing again and the tiny infant will be just fine.

What caused the incident still shocks Kirsti and other parents who hear her story. The doctor informed the couple that Harper had suffered from oxygen deprivation from being in the car seat so long.

He told them that babies shouldn’t be in a car seat for over an hour or there is the risk of this happening.

When Christopher took Harper out of her car seat, she was finally able to breath well again and the burst of oxygen caused her body to have the seizure.

Kirsti says her and Christopher are grateful their daughter is okay, but want other parents to know their story in hopes that another infant won’t have to suffer the way that Harper did.
