Happy Halloween

Natalie attempted walking today! She had two therapists and the family to help her walk but kept at it for about 20 minutes on and off. She is not yet able to put all her weight on her feet just yet but is learning to put one foot in front of the other. Natalie enjoyed the weather today as the family wheeled her outside. She has also been speaking and answering questions as she was before her minor setback.

Natalie continues to progress and with your thoughtful prayers will only get stronger. Keep it up!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN NAT AND FAMILY!!! Aaron is being Aaron and is trying to scare all of the trick or treaters with his spooking devil mask when they come to the door. One kid gave him the business and told him the only kids he was going to scare were little kids, and Aaron said then why did you jump!!! Too funny. Was very excited to read of your progress. Just more proof on what an incredibly strong person you are Nat and what a supportive family you have. Love to you all.

hello Foulger's, Al and Aunt Anne. We are very happy to hear of your continued success. Joey wanted to go trick or treating at your house last night so bad, he still remembers Stormy eating his big snickers bar that he dropped! He was a race car driver this year, with his energy he wouldn't need gas! We have many people stop in the vision center to check on your progress. Mrs Heberger sends her best wishes to you and your family. She was in the ICU waiting room with your family waiting for her husband's surgery, and remembers how wonderful they were. Of course we all know how special your family and Al are!! Keep up the good work , we are all proud of you.

Love, Michele, Craig, Emily,Jacob, and Joey

Remarkable!!! That is what the song says, "Just put one foot in front of the other, and soon you will be walking out the door!"

Nat,

It is fantastic to hear of your progress, you are one amaising tough cookie! We are very glad to heae you are shaking off the illness this week and back on track.

Mike could you explain a little more on how Nat is walking? I guess with support from 'The Team'. Also could you ask Marc to email their address to me please, we and Grandma/Grandpa would like to be able to keep in touch via snail mail too.

Thanks

"When you walk through a storm
hold your head up high
and don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm
is a golden sky and the sweet silver song of the lark.
Walk on through the wind,
walk on through the rain,
tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart and you'll never walk alone.
You'll never walk alone".

Walk on Nat.
