Well, along with family month I will be on and off constantly as my cousin, C.J. has been diagnosed with SJS or Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is an immune-complex–mediated hypersensitivity complex that is a severe expression of erythema multiforme. It is known by some as erythema multiforme major, but disagreement exists in the literature. Most authors and experts consider SJS and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) different manifestations of the same disease. For that reason, many refer to the entity as SJS/TEN. SJS typically involves the skin and the mucous membranes. While minor presentations may occur, significant involvement of oral, nasal, eye, girl thingyl, urethral, GI, and lower respiratory tract mucous membranes may develop in the course of the illness. GI and respiratory involvement may progress to necrosis. SJS is a serious systemic disorder with the potential for severe morbidity and even death. Missed diagnosis is common.
Just so you know I copied and pasted this part *points above*
He is in need of major attention and as I am the one that babysits him, this means I will not be on as often until my Aunt and Uncle return home. (after family month has been concluded)
This is C.J. he is just like my very own baby and I am devistated that this has happened. But I know God Knows what he is doing and I am putting my trust with him.
