Oh man... .
 

Thanks for the updates, guys.

OMG I've been so out of the loop. I just hopped on the forum for the first time in months and saw this horrible news  . I've had the pleasure of fishing and hanging with Steph a few times. This is truly upsetting  . Hang tight girl!! We are all pulling for you. Sending mad love from your NCKA family

yes this is truly sad news she has some new doctors.... so let hope they can find something the other have missed... Quinn and Sara and I went to see her on
Saturday before the Giants Game... we wanted to get some Elmer Fudd "were hunting wabbits'' hats like the one stephie has...
she had begun to show signs of slight facial twitching, then she semi yawned.. we thought that was a good sign... 

Continued prayers and positive thoughts to you Steph!

Wouldn't that be awesome that she was trying to speak and say she hears You and knows we are all missing her.  She's gotta be getting better !

Love the "you gotta ask yourself one question, do you feel lucky" photo!  C'mon chica!!!

Come on Steph, lets go!! You got this girl, I promised you that I will take you to SMC, I need to make that promise happen. Halis are calling your name in there.

shit shit shit

OMG! I have not stayed on top on forum and just caught up with this sad, shocking news!! I had a opportunity to hang out with Steph last year with the Shulanders at Albion Open. I remember she is such gentle, helpful, always smiling kind of girl with great passion for fishing! Hang in there girl! My prayers are with you and families! Wish you a speedy recovery and be my camp neighbor again at Albion like last year!

Hey so the nurse says she's opening her eyes and they respond to movement so not sure if Steph can notice us or what not but supposedly she's supposed to be in a deep state of unconsciousness. We're hoping it's a sign. Other than that she is showing brain activity. She is still twitching​ at the mouth shr is still seizing but it is on intervals. The strength of her seizures seem to have lessened from our point of view but we don't know what's happening in her brain. The doctors say the seizures are focal and localised on the temporal lobe. We have a certified from the judge to go ahead and grant the doctors permission to conduct the electro shock therapy to reboot her brain in hopes it can generate a seizure to stop her seizure. Sounds weird I know but in clinical trials it has been proven to work. So for now we are just waiting

our collective positivism will get her through this

I have no doubt of that.

Steph - Waiting patiently for you to wake up. Like so many of us here I check in the morning to see if there is any news. I check at lunch time and if I'm online in the evening, I check then too.. Waiting patiently.

Friends, I'm not sure if I have correctly stated Stephanie's condition. It's being called "Refractory status epilepticus" the treatment that is being proposed next is ECT  Electroconvulsive therapy, if you would like to know more about it and some case studies I have found this which has mixed results.  thank you all for your continued prayers and support for Stephie.
