Taking to Instagram, the Duck Dynasty star revealed exactly what happened.
"This feels hard to talk about in my real life, much less on social media, but I do feel it is worth sharing because I truly believe awareness of it will save lives...," Robertson began.
"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 continued. "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."
'Duck Dynasty' Star Details Terrifying Experience
Robertson said that her daughter had been eating in the high chair. That's when she began to choke on her snack.
"Kit was sitting in her high chair this week, eating a snack while I was finishing up dinner prep, when she began to choke," Robertson wrote. "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."
"Everyone went into action and into prayer," she continued. "Mom called 911, I started CPR, and everyone began to pray out loud and move the other kids downstairs."
While she worked on CPR, Robertson said that she turned to God during her time of need. Thanks to her quick actions, her daughter was able to cough up the food.
"I am one of those people who likes to be prepared for all situations, so I've watched several videos while hoping and praying I would never have to use this knowledge," Robertson wrote. "I can only explain it now like my body just knew what to do. I felt God's Spirit guiding me, partnering with me in what I had learned and seen. I remember saying out loud, 'what do I do?' and then immediately started doing it and declaring life."
She continued, "After following protocol for a baby choking and doing CPR, Kit miraculously coughed and began to breathe, just as the paramedics arrived... it was truly terrifying, but God. I rode in the back of the ambulance with my girl, still afraid, but praising God."
The Duck Dynasty star took her daughter to the hospital. She fortunately made a full recovery after an overnight stay.
