Jordan St. Cyr and his family are asking for prayers after his young daughter suffered several seizures on Saturday.

Jordan's wife Heather took to Facebook on Saturday evening to update family, friends, and followers. She says that Emery, who is three years old, "had another bout of seizures today."

Emery suffers from a rare neurological disease called Sturge Weber Syndrome. The neurological condition causes a large port-wine stain on half of her face, but comes with neurological difficulties as well, including causing seizures.

"Facebook is not where I like to go to share intimate details about what’s going on," Heather writes in the update, "but then again we feel it’s important to be transparent and open about life and our story."

The St. Cyrs' daughter is at Vanderbilt Medical in Nashville. Heather writes that "we are here being cared for by the amazing team."

Mom asks people to "'Say a little pray' as Emery would say. For her health, her Grandma & siblings waiting for her at home, and for her Daddy who is down in Texas and wants so badly to be by her side."

Jordan recently began a tour with Jeremy Camp, supporting him on the I Still Believe Tour. They are playing in Monroe, Louisiana,  on Sunday evening. 

"I’m on tour and it breaks my heart to not be with them right now," Jordan writes on his Facebook page. "Your love and prayers are holding us up."

Jordan and his family have been very open with Emery's health struggles. The family had just moved to Nashville last month from his hometown of Niverville, Man., and Jordan spoke on the Connections Podcast about taking a leap of faith to leave Canada's affordable healthcare system behind.

"You can never know God's timing in all of it," said St. Cyr referencing his album which dropped last week and specifically talking about the song, 'Fires.' "For us, it was a song that helped us walk through our hardest season and little did we know, the world was about to walk through one of its hardest seasons with this pandemic."

'Fires' was inspired by another man's testimony of walking through trials and seeing God's guiding hand through it. After Jordan wrote the song it would end up becoming an anthem for his family as they faced Emery's diagnosis. Speaking about the single in 2020 he told us, "Really, ultimately, what I feel this means is God wants our stories. He wants our broken pieces because when we can give them to Him, He can use them to inspire others. He can use them - the words of our testimony."
