Stephanie Smith Recovering

By Pritzker | Ruohonen

After months of being in an induced coma after contracting an E. coli infection that led to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), Stephanie Smith is out of the coma and recovering at St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota.  To view a KARE 11 video entitled "Long road back for E. coli victim," click here.

It is a miracle Stephanie Smith is alive.  We wish her the best as she recovers.
