A heart touching story at Edward Murphy School

Last July Liam Dubois, a Grade 3 student at Edward Murphy Elementary School in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve received a new heart after being hospitalized for 427 days. Thanks to his incredible medical team at the Montreal Children’s Hospital, Liam has made a full recovery.

This year, unlike last, Liam will be celebrating Christmas at home with his family. He will be waking up on Christmas morning, excited for the day, like a typical eight year old should be. As a way to brighten up the holiday season for many children who will not be home for the holidays, Liam’s teachers and classmates dressed up in their “ugly” Christmas sweaters and donated gifts to the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation. Their wish is to spread some holiday cheer to those in need and for everyone to have a Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year.

Edward Murphy School Principal Cristina Celzi notes:. “Liam has been back since October and is doing really well! It has been quite a roller-coaster though; he first got sick at school in June 2016 and we all feared the worst. He is a true miracle child!”
