The baby was affectionately called 'Baby Don', Don'Vayaire was only 2 days from celebrating his very first birthday on October 24th.
Sadly, he would never see that milestone after a freak accident at a Halloween party cut his life short. It is an exceptionally hard blow on the family as they had purposely kept balloons from Baby Don throughout the festivities.
Despite their efforts as Baby Don sat in his car seat minutes before he and his mother were set to leave, a balloon broke free from a decoration. Sadly, the balloon landed within reach of Baby Don.
Things began to rush towards the tragic ending after Baby Don grabbed the balloon, which any baby would do. He grabbed it and bit it before anyone even realized it had fallen off the decoration.
Baby Don immediately bit the balloon, causing it to pop. When it popped, the knot, tying the balloon closed, rocketed to the bottom of Baby Don's esophagus.
Baby Don's mother immediately knew what was happening and desperately tried to save her son's life. She stuck her fingers down his throat to attempt to dislodge the obstruction. Others at the party also attempted to remove or at least clear a small airway unsuccessfully.
Baby Don turned blue and went into cardiac arrest in an alarmingly quick amount of time, and CPR was immediately started.
First responders arrived only moments after the incident began due to the quick call to 911. They utilized a tube and pliers in an attempt to save Baby Don.
Sadly, even the trained professionals could not remove the balloon knot as it was in an especially difficult spot.
Despite everyone's best efforts, Baby Don passed away while EMS were genuinely desperately trying to save him.
This accident has left the family and everyone who hears the dramatic tale in shock. It seems unreal that a child so vital and full of life only moments earlier ...could now be deceased.
Our thoughts are with the family of Baby Don Avita-Mays.
