An At Home Update

Natalie has been attending outpatient care at Saint Camillus Hospital. Three days a week she receives physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.

Due to the wonderful weather in Watertown she had to miss a few of her sessions but has been attending whenever possible. She is currently feeling a bit under the weather which caused her to pass on today's therapies.

Please be aware the visitor policy remains the same because Natalie is currently adjusting to her new surroundings and will need to take her time and be around familiar faces.

I will update the blog with more news shortly - Keep up the great work, Nat!

Brother Kyle

Natalie is nearing the end of her stay here at Sunnyview. When she leaves here she will go home to our parents house on Dry Hill Road to continue her recovery.

Nat will recieve outpatient therapy at Saint Camillus and will see a doctor in Syracuse as well. Although Nat will now be staying in Watertown, visitors must still be limited as she continues to recover. Close friends of Nat's will of course be welcomed but we do ask that everyone call the family before visiting to set up a time when Nat will be free. Do not just show up at the house.

Also, for the few days, while Nat is adjusting to the new situation, we cannot have any visitors. Once we are all settled in we will let everyone know that we are back.

The biggest hurdle for Nat right now continues to be short term memory. She understands what happened to her each time we explain it but has trouble remembering it afterwards. Finally, I am happy to report that Nat's feeding tube was removed yesterday and she now gets all of her nutrition and medicine by mouth.

Thank you all for your continuing support and understanding.
