Michelle

My cousin Michelle, who is 32 years old, is in a coma in a hospital in Salem, Oregon. She suffered a massive stroke as a result of bacterial meningitis. She is on life support. Her liver is failing, she has a staph infection, and a heart murmur, and has suffered severe brain damage as a result of the stroke. Michelle has been a heroin user for many years. It has taken its toll on her body.
