Considering 401k withdrawal to pay off debt

I'm worried about depleting my 401k, but feel forced to pay off debt due to my medical child's expenses

What I wish I knew
"I wish I,and my husband, had saved more for emergencies"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider prioritizing debt based on interest rates and urgency"
