Local boy battling rare disease catches a break
Medicine Hat, AB – Max Seidel is currently at the Alberta Children’s Hospital battling the rare disease known as atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome.
Max’s mother Connie Edler said they received a bit of relief just in time for the holidays.
“The doctor’s here in Calgary said because of the publicity that has been happening around Max and his situation, that a bunch of people had called Alberta Health Services (AHS) and all of a sudden AHS had decided to cover his medication for six-months.”
