At the age of 12, doctors discovered that Michelle had a gap in her spine that formed between C2 and C3. Nerve damage had already progressed down her entire left side and had a teacher not caught her limping, doctors would not have been able to catch it in time. Two surgeries took place to fuse C2 and C3, as well as the base of the skull to C4. After 3 months with a medical halo, 12 months with a neck brace, and 8 years of physical and occupational therapy, years of chronic pain and PTSD, Michelle is grateful to be able to still be here.
