As I said yesterday, Natalie has begun her therapy. Her days consist of six half hour sessions - thats two half hour sessions for each therapy group. The three groups are occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy. The therapists have already commented that Natalie is doing better than they suspected she would - not surprising for those of us that know her!
Marc and Al will be driving to Watertown to pick up some furniture for the apartment and the family will be moving in on Saturday.
As far as I know the benefit run is still on for October 15th. That is this Sunday! If you will be available that day please participate in the run as I know it will be a huge help to the family!
Thank you everyone for your continuing words of encouragement, I know Natalie will be shocked at all the support she has.

Nat, It was a great day to run for you. I know you would have loved running it with us all. I know you would be touched to see the large number of folks who turned out to get together for you and your family. What a testament to community and how we all care so very much about you, your progress, and your family. We will stand by you until you are ready to come back and be with us.

It turned out to be a great day today and it was wonderful to see so many people at the benefit today.Ron could not be there but not likely I could have gotten the old guy to walk with me anyhow!! lolBut he was surely there in spirit. The quilt will be just beautiful when it is finished and I know you will love it Nat. Take care you guys and you are in our thoughts.
Donna and Ron
Hi everyone
The walk/run was truly a community effort. People were present from all over the north country. Many SJCS sport teams were represented. It was a great day. There were so many people that wanted to support Natalie. Good Luck Natalie on the Rehab. You are going to do great!!

Hi to Natalie's family and loved ones,
I wrote previously when I learned of this blog but I realize that none of you know me. I am from Watertown and my 27 year old son, Jimmy, spent over 4 months at Sunnyview this year and in that entire time I never had a single problem with anything there. As you will all soon come to know, the staff and therapists are absolutely amazing and will become your "family" very quickly. You could not have chosen a better place for Natalie to be right now. I'm so happy to hear that you found an apartment as I spent 4 months living at the local Day's Inn which was ok, but I wish I had found an apartment just for a more homey atmosphere to go to at the end of the day. I was by myself so I have to admit that I felt safer in the hotel, but there were many nights I wished to just be able to cook a grilled cheese sandwich! I will tell you that I rarely left my son's side during his stay at Sunnyview and I loved being able to go through this phase of his recovery with him....even though there were many times that I wasn't sure he even knew I was there. I will always believe that he knew and that it was the best thing I could have done for him. All I can give you as advice at this point is to ask every question you think of even if you think it's foolish...trust me, it isn't. Please know that Natalie will get better, it may take longer than you anticipate, but she WILL get better! Youth is a wonderful thing and all the odds are in her favor. I will continue to check this blog and will pray for Natalie every day. Hang in there, be strong and keep smiling and laughing...it's a great healer. Gretchen Rowland
