Doctors began administering Natalie's lactose free food today thus eliminating any threats of allergic reactions.
Physical therapy came in to see Nat and were able to support her sitting upright in order to refamiliarize her with different positions. Once she is able to succesfully sit upright (and follow verbal commands) she can be put in a wheelchair and be sent off to rehab where they will work on strengthening her muscles and motor skills.
Facial expressions continued again, today, and her heart rate has been stable and relatively low compared to the past few days.
More miracles to follow!

Hi,
This is Adam (Natalie's cousin) in London. I was sent this link by my dad David (Tina's brother). Can I just say that me, Charlotte (Natalie's other cousin) mum and dad are all thinking of you Natalie as well as you Tina, Mark, Kyle and Rebecca. I can't think how difficult this time must be for you all. Natalie's progress sounds fantastic every day and I only hope that she gets well soon. On behalf of me, Charlotte, Sally and David I send our love.
Best wishes,
Adam
p.s. Great work with the blog, Mike.
Hello,
My family and I wanted to extend our well wishes to Natalie and her family. Natalie was a student of mine while in high school. As a student, she impressed me with her work ethic and creativity. Now, she impresses me with her enduring spirit. She is certainly a wonderful young woman with an amazing support network. I am grateful to be able to keep up to date with Natalie's progress and would like to, as many others have, thank the author for the postings.
Take care,
Jennifer Gaffney-Goodnough & Family
We just want you to know that we visited 2 weeks ago at the hospital and met Natalie's family and were very impressed by the love and devotion present in the ICU lounge. We are also very impressed with the quiet devotion and strength of character our godson, Alex, has shown to both Nat and her family during these weeks. You are all in our prayers,
Susan and Michael Clarke
This is all wonderful news and im happy to hear things are coming along smoothly! Once again I wish to say this blog is extremely helpful! Thanks Mike and tell the family I said hello and I love them!
*Keep Fighting Nat, I Love You!!!*
Love Always, Kaela xoxo

I truly believe that you will someday be a doctor, and you will know how it was to be a patient. Blessings to you and your family.Thanks, Mike. Sister Norma
I found this blog on Newzjunky.com. Tomorrow when I attend church, the Foulger family will be in my prayers. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Thank you to Mike for keeping us all updated! There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you Nat. I have not a doubt in my mind that you will be reading all of these messages and laughing and smiling like your old self in no time.
Love, Jamie Jerome
