In August of 1988, Shelly Arrollo was told by doctors that she had a rare disease called "polyarteritis nodosa." It's a disease that attacks the arteries and blood vessels causing them to expand and burst. It then moves on the major organs.
Blood vessels had burst in one of Shelly's kidneys, completely filling it with blood. The same thing began to happen in the second kidney. Shelly slipped into a coma where she remained for two weeks. Her priest gave her last rites.
