Freak accident may have saved toddler's life
Jairden Loukota is like any busy toddler.
On Aug. 25, when Jairden was playing out in the family’s hayfield with his two older brothers, a freak accident saved Jairden’s life.
Asa, 9, and Zach, 8, were hitting golf balls while Jairden was helping to retrieve them, something they’d all done many times before. One of the brothers swung the club and struck Jairden in the stomach. Their father, Jake, was nearby and he carried a crying Jairden back to the house.
Megan, Jairden’s mom, said he complained that his hand hurt but then, just a few minutes later, Jairden’s face grew white and his body went limp. The Loukotas raced their son to the emergency room at Cuyuna Regional Medical Center in Crosby.
