Stevens-Johnson syndrome Doctors first thought it was some type of viral infection, but the medications he was prescribed weren't working and his syndrome worsened.
His eyes were bloodshot red and his lips were beginning O crack and peal. The doctors discovered that Zachary had SJS. It literally burns from the inside out. He had been asking a medication called Lamotrigine (Lamictal) for migraines. He was diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson syndrome. It got worse and worse until 90% of the child's skin was affected and it spread to his lungs.
He screamed agony as his skin blistered off. They flew him to a burn until where they have to induce a coma. Doctors removed his skin and wrapped his head to toe so it could grow back. But Zachary did and aside from his hair needing to row back, he looks brand new.
