Thank you for taking the time to read about our precious girl’s recent journey. On Friday, September 30th 2011 a joyful 2 year old girl named Ruby Marie Weeks kissed her parents and 2 month old baby sister and went to sleep. Like so many nights before, Ruby laid in her bed singing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” until falling peacefully to sleep. Little did she or her loved ones know, this typical night would change all of their lives forever. The next morning Ruby’s dad went in to get her from her bed after he heard her on the monitor at her usual wake-up time. When he entered the room he found her seizing in her crib and drenched in sweat. Paramedics were called and she was rushed to the hospital as her seizure refused to relent. While she was witnessed to have seized for an hour, Ruby’s parents are tormented by the possibility that her seizure had been happening for hours before she was found. Ruby and her dad were airlifted to a Pediatric ICU in Los Angeles where her symptoms and continued seizures challenged the doctors and specialists on her case. As a result of the length of the seizure, Ruby has been left with paralysis on the right side of her body and is unable to speak. Her family has relocated to be near the hospital so she can receive the best treatment and therapy in hopes of getting their bright, funny, and sweet little girl back. Your prayers are much appreciated.
