Stephanie Marucci
DOB:23 January 1997

Parents: Adrian and Mary Marucci Sibling: Natalie (sister)



Stephanie Marucci through her life has battled with two major health issues, namely Arnold-Chiari Malfunction and dystonia.

A bone at the top of Steph's spine was growing bent thus preventing fluid moving around the brain affecting her nerves. Because of the rarity of the condition it took doctors several years to diagnose the problem as being Arnold-Chiari Malfunction.

A very brave 14 year old Stephanie had an operation in 2011 at Great Ormond Street to remove part of her skull.

In December 2015 Steph had an operation which required implanting a pacemaker on the left of her stomach and extensive brain surgery. Fortunately the operation was a success, however the recovery has been, and continues to be, a long process.

In addition to these 2 major operations Steph has attended many other medical appointments and undergone other operations.

In the years since her operation Steph has restarted walking, improving her posture, doing tasks we take for granted such as opening a bottle and regaining her voice.

There is still a long way to go for Steph and she will live with the effects of these conditions for the rest of her life.

A lesser person than Steph may have given up. Not Steph and there are 2 striking features that instantly struck me about Steph...her brown eyes and her smile. Add those to her positive attitude to life and her very caring nature and you have one very lovely person. Hopefully in the next few years Steph will get married to a very loving guy and become a mother.
