After speaking with Becca today, here is the update:
Natalie is still experiencing persistent problems with her high heart rate and temperature but nurses and doctors are working together to try and isolate and resolve the issue.
She is becoming increasingly more alert, resulting in minor facial expressions! The hospital's on staff physical therapist came by to review her improvement and was again pleased at her current status.
Natalie will undergo a quick surgery on her bladder where doctors will drain out an infection to prevent any further complications - The infection partially developed from the pelvic surgery on August 29. When the orthopedist, Dr. Simpson, saw Natalie today he commented on her wonderful progress in the week since he last saw her and confirmed that he believes she is nearing the end of her coma.
We all know how persistent Nat can be, lets keep praying that she follows this same remarkable path!

Becs and Mike-
I am torn between emotions right now. I'm SO devasted to hear of the accident, but at the same time I am relieved to hear that there has been nothing but progress. Please know that your entire family is in the thoughts and prayers and both Trever and I. You and your family are so strong, Becca, and I am confident that this strength will be reflected in the amazing recovery Nat will make. We hope to hear nothing more but positive news. Give yourself a big hug from me, too!! Take good care of yourself.
Love,
Melissa and Trever

Thanks for having this page up to let us know Natalie's progress. We were with Natalie at the accident scene and have been hounding poor Beth Hopkins for updates while trying not to be intrusive. Everyone here at work (Time Warner and Steve's unit-710th BSB on post)are asking about Natalie and she is being kept in all of our prayers. We are all so glad to hear that she is improving and we know it will be a long road to recovery. We are there to help the family in any way, so let us know what we can do for you all. Denise & Steve
Natalie and family,
I was devestated to hear about the accident, but I am relieve to hear progress is being make. Natalie was a student at our studio not to many years back. Even though students come and go through our program they are never forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
God bless,

My name is Maureen Lavarnway and I worked with Natalie's mom at Wiley Elementary. Tina, I just wanted to let you know that we are all thinking about you and your entire family. If there is anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask. And thank you so much for the updates on Natalie. She is in our prayers!
Hello Mike -
We just want to let the Foulger family know that we love you all very much. Nat, and all of you, are in our prayers every single day. We have our entire church (Emmanuel Cong. UCC in Watertown), and our very large Prayer Chain at church, praying for Natalie 24/7. You are a terrific, generous,life-giving,loving family - how can Nat NOT improve with all that love and strength inside her and surrounding her? Your family gives so much to others, is it any wonder that folks have come out of the woodwork to love and support you in your time of need? And Mike, THANK YOU so much for this beautiful blog!
Love,
Patty, Ron, Tara and Rachel Farr
I worked with Tina at Wiley and I am very happy to hear that Natalie is making progress. Tina-I am thinking about you and your family and believe that all of the love and support surrounding Natalie is definitely helping her to make progress. I'm thinking about ya!
