In case you haven't already heard Natalie has tested out of the coma stim program meaning that she is no longer considered to be in a coma! She does not act any differently because of this and her progress is still slow but gradual. It mainly means that she scored a 20 (out of 23) or higher on her coma emergence test two weeks in a row - she actually scored a perfect 23 both weeks!
Natalie has been good and talkative for most of the week except today. She was very nauseous and quiet today and as a result missed most of her therapies for the day. Doctors suspect her c-diff is coming back and causing the vomitting. As of now they are unsure but I will post an update once her condition is resolved.

Thinking of you and your family everyday.

Hi Foulger Family!
I think of you all daily. I am so glad to hear of all the progress made so far and look forward to reading about all the improvements yet to come.

Natalie and fam: You continue to amaze us here at home. I know this is not an easy road for you, especially when you have to watch someone you love dearly struggle. But how lucky are u that the women struggling is as strong as NAT...Obviously she comes from good genes and being the youngest in the family has had amazing role models. Marc and Tina of course, but Kyle and Rebecca, don't you think you haven't had a role in how strong your sister is and how you have played an important role in her life to make her the amazing determined young women she is today. You all continue to be an inspiration to us here at home and as always you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love to you all
Way to go Nat! Keep it up!! You are amazing!
