The wait continues. No news is good news but she's been fluttering her eyes. Keep still, Steph. Stephanie remains stable and is "sticking to the plan." The doctors are hoping to start taking her off some medications on Sunday and let her slowly start waking up. We will keep you posted. GoStephGo!

I think of Steph almost everyday. We met on Kauai ( I think running) very briefly. My heart goes out to you and your family. You have the most amazing support system that is going to push you through a full recovery. I look for updates every morning and every evening. I'm behind you Steph 110% everyday. You are going to get stronger every day, I just know it. You are an amazing individual and have brought so much joy and happiness into everyone's life you have touched. You've got this girl! Sending lots of love from Kauai.
No news is good news :) Thank you for keeping everyone posted with this blog. I check it frequently & I'm glad Steph is surrounded by so much love. My heart is happy things are 'on plan' today <3
Praying every day. Keep strong!
We continue to pray every day for you all! Love and hugs from Nebraska! :-)
I read about Stephanie in the Coast News today. My thoughts and prayers are with Stephanie/friends/family.
I've also been thinking about Steph daily and am so glad for this site & the updates! I lived in the same dorm as Stephanie, we have many mutual friends from college, and I got to meet back up with her to start the Boston Marathon in 2015 (though she promptly left me in the dust about a mile in, ha). Our whole friend group has been pulling for her and sharing memories of fun times together at UW - her electric energy has always been contagious. Go Steph go!
Steph, Dennis, Alicia and family- We are sending love and prayers for you all! I've never seen a runner as happy as Steph at mile 22 of a marathon! And we know mile 22 isn't fun. Unbelievable strength! Steph- you've got this! Go, Steph, go!!!
Dennis- your Detroit family is rooting for Steph!!! We look at this update daily to see when she wakes up and look forward to seeing her conquer her recovery. We wish you peace of heart and strength and patience. We love ya!!! Laura Ritter (Allio), Michael and James
Tommy and I (lindsay) check this website hourly. Thank you so much for all the updates. You are all in our prayers. We will continue to keep Stephanie in our prayers, sending her all of our love and energy. I keep talking about what a strong determined person Steph is. She rather run miles downtown in a black dress than pitch in 2$ for an uber. Love you Steph!! You're so strong willed and full of love and good energy. GoStephGo!!!!
You gotta get better girlie!!!!!!! work will NOT be the same without you there.
