Day 1
On Friday evening, August 11th, Stephanie was biking home from dinner out with Dennis and some friends. She fell victim to a hit & run and suffered a severe blow to her head. She was immediately hospitalized with a traumatic brain injury. We want to use this space to help keep her amazing network of friends and family updated with how she is doing and more importantly to collect words of encouragement to keep her going. Right now she is being sedated and not able to interact, but once she is woken up, she is going to need to hear & feel as much as support as possible. So, share an uplifting story, post photos, and offer your cheers (we'll read them and show them to her). And send all the prayers & positive healing energy that you can. Stephanie lives for her friends and family. She needs you all more than ever now (so does Dennis)

The Marquardt family is holding all of you in prayer! May Jesus completely heal Stephanie!
Oh no! I'm so very worried! I can't believe this happened to you. I remember my mom recovering from brain tumor surgery and it was a rough & long recovery. I know you'll get through this dear cousin! Sending you lots of love and healing vibes!!! XOOOO
Our thoughts and prayers of healing are with you and your family. With love from our family to yours.
Sending you so much love! You have so many pulling for you on Madeline Island. 💪
I don't know youStephanie , but wish you good health soon. Some years ago my brother suffered a TBI after a bicycle accident. He was flown to St Mary's Duluth where they induced a coma. Later he went through MILLER D rehab and completely recovered. Feel the love and support 'out here' as you work with the wonderful docs and staff. Hugs, Sue Hansen-Shell Lake
