TOPSHAM, Maine -- 06/13/2017 - Wynter Przybylski (right), 9, laughs with her nurse, Stephanie Shapiro, while being fed through a feeding tube at her home in Topsham Tuesday. Przybylski will spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair due to a misdiagnosis in February 2014. Przybylski was suffering from a common type of childhood leukemia in when she was misdiagnosed with severe constipation. Wynter has been treated successfully for the leukemia but because treatment was delayed, she developed a white blood cell clot on her spine that caused permanent paralysis. She has been awarded $1.9 million in a legal settlement. Ashley L. Conti | BDN
