Feeding tube status

Doctors performed the procedure to reposition Natalie's feeding tube yesterday. The procedure went well and so far, today, there haven't been any changes. Hoping that the tube stays put in her intestine and Nurses are able to continue to provide nourishment, Nat's new scheduled move date is Thursday. I will let you all know as soon as the move is closer to a reality.

Natalie's friends from Daemen College raised funds to aid in her recovery. I want to thank you all for putting this fundraiser together. The family is very appreciative of all the support they've received thus far!

Many, many thanks to Nat's friends Elysia, Kelly, Meredith and Amanda for organizing the wonderful fundraiser at Daemen College, and thanks to all of the friends, faculty, staff and students who supported it. We really appreciate your generosity, but it is even more important to us that so many of you at Daemen are thinking of Natalie and supported this event so incredibly well.

Living in Ottawa and feeling somewhat remote from the everyday activities we are especially grateful for the daily blog updates. Having not seen Nat for a few weeks we can only visualize the steady rate of improvement. It's great to read about the progress in Nat's motor skills.

You are all constantly in our thoughts and prayers.

Natalie is up to the target feeding tube rate and is tolerating it well so far. The doctor's want to monitor this for at least another 24 hours before she can be transferred to rehab. Sunnyviews policy is to not take new patients from Friday-Sunday, so it looks like transfer will be Monday.
