A Courageous Battle
Michelle’s death came after a courageous and arduous battle with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TENS), a severe and life-threatening condition triggered by an incredibly rare allergic reaction to a medication.

Understanding SJS and TENS
SJS and TENS are severe mucocutaneous reactions, often initiated by medications, that cause the epidermis to detach from the dermis. The progression of these conditions is rapid and can be incredibly painful, leading to widespread blistering, peeling skin, and damage to mucous membranes. Michelle endured the full force of this brutal disease, facing each day with a determination that inspired those around her.
