My 12-Year-Old Daughter Woke Up As Usual—That Same Day Life Changed Forever

详细摘要

In April 2022, our daughter Evie had been at the beach with friends. We had no idea that our lives were about to change forever.

Katie: Our daughter Evie was the kindest, funniest, most loving girl you could ever meet.

From when she was tiny, she cared about people and wanted to be friends with everybody.

When friends fell out, Evie was often the one who brought them back together. She had so much light and love to give to the world.

Her brother, Teddy, also adored her. If it were possible to be closer than twins, they were.

We were just a normal family. Little did we know, our lives were about to change forever.

Howard: On April 1, 2021, Evie had spent the day at the beach with some friends.

While she was having dinner at one of the friend's houses afterward, we got a call from the parents to say Evie had suffered some form of seizure.

We rushed over there and took her straight to The Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital (QEQM) in Margate.

The whole thing was unimaginably out of the blue. One minute we were waiting for her to come home and the next, we were sitting beside our healthy 12-year-old in the emergency ward.
