Katie Chamberlain and her four boys were filling up water balloons last month when her 9-month-old son Justin accidentally swallowed one.
Chamberlain said Justin started to turn blue, so she rushed over to give him CPR but it was too late.
"It was just so fast. I couldn't even get to him fast enough before the balloon was gone and he couldn't breathe anymore," Chamberlain said
Doctors say balloons are one of the most deadly choking hazards for children.
