Help support Emmy’s recovery

On July 6, Ben, Meghan and their children enjoyed a fantastic day at a Montreal water park. After a fun filled day they decided to head home from their family vacation. Ben and Meghan’s 3 yr old daughter, Emma Ceit, experienced a prolonged seizure on that car ride. Emmy had a seizure and was rushed to hospital by ambulance. That seizure was timed at lasting over 40 minutes. She was treated at CHUL childrens hospital For over 6 weeks. During the first 4 weeks, Emmy’s condition was very touch and go, she had to be put in a medically induced coma in order to stop the silent seizures she was having.... CHUL hospital saved Emmy’s life. Although the diagnosis cannot be proven because its too new- Neurologists suspect she suffers from “acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late restricted diffusion”.
On August 20th Emmy was well enough to be transferred to IRDPQ rehabilitation centre, also in Quebec. This is where Emmy will do most of her work to recover. At this time, Emmy can only see light, and they are unsure about her hearing. She cannot walk or talk and has to be fed via G-tube. She is a little fighter and has been working extremely hard to recover.

This funding will help with travel for not only Emmys parents but their family who travels to help with her care, loss of wages and to allow them to adapt their home to Emma’s new needs.

Meghan and Ben have reluctantly accepted that they need to rely on their family and friends for support. They continue to ask for love, positivity and prayers.
