Mom shares warning about batteries in Christmas gifts after daughter’s injury

Dr. Edwin de Zoeten, director of the Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at Children's Hospital Colorado, told ABC News doctors were able to remove the button battery from inside Elana’s body but the battery caused a perforation in Elana’s esophagus, which led to mediastinitis, or inflammation and subsequent infection of the mediastinum, the space in the chest between the lungs that contains tissues and organs of the chest.
