EMBERLY DAWN'S STORY
Emberly Dawn was born on December 27, 2022, to Haley and Jeremy. Shortly after birth, she was diagnosed with multiple congenital heart defects and was flown to Edmonton for emergency care at the Stollery Children’s Hospital.
Over the following months, she underwent several heart surgeries and catheter procedures, spent time in both Edmonton and Winnipeg PICUs, and faced multiple critical health events with incredible strength. Today, Emberly is at home with her family, continuing to be monitored by her care team and thriving as she grows.
