This week Toni sat down with the Molstad Family all the way from Sweden as they talk about their daughter Edith and her struggles with Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) a catastrophic epileptic syndrome that strikes previously healthy children as young as 3. As well as the struggles that brought them from Sweden here to Salt Lake City.
We explore the intricacies of the healthcare system, travel, as well as a few of the things that have helped this amazing family through their daily challenges.
