Christian Singer Jordan St. Cyr Shares 5-Year-Old Daughter's Journey with Sturge-Weber Syndrome (Exclusive)


“She became the miracle I didn't know I needed as a dad,” Jordan St. Cyr, 41, tells PEOPLE of his 5-year-old daughter Emery, who was diagnosed with Sturge-Weber Syndrome shortly after her birth in November 2018.

It was a birthmark St. Cyr noticed immediately upon the birth of his daughter back in November 2018 at a Winnipeg hospital, but initially, the nurses in the delivery room didn’t seem to be alarmed. Canadian doctors eventually discovered that what was "going on underneath" was St. Cyr and his wife Heather’s "worst fear" – their baby daughter had Sturge-Weber Syndrome. “In some ways, my songwriting has brought me salvation,” says St. Cyr whose empowering single “Rescue” currently finds itself in the top 10 on the Christian music charts.
