Michelle’s face was large and innocent. She had a nose like a little beak, and she was balding. It was discovered that she had Hallermann-Streiff syndrome, a hereditary illness of which there are only 250 known cases worldwide.
Michelle was born at Children’s Memorial Hospital, where no one had ever seen it in person.
