Nat is AWESOME!!!

Hey guys!!!

It's Nat again, and I just wanted to let you all know that the doctors in Syracuse want me to stay home for now, while they figure out my case, and get me on the right meds. It's a bit boring, but my Dad works from home, and my mom is just a five-minute drive away, at Watertown schools. It kinda sucks, but hey I listen to what Dr. Ward says, because she has been my main go-to doctor since the beginning!!!

I love you all, and if you're in or around the Watertown area, call or text my cell, so we can chillax!!!

Hey guys,
Al and I are back in Buffalo. School is going well so far.

Love you guys!!!

Thanks

Hola amigos (Hello friends),

It's Nat once again, and I first off want to thank all of you people who continue to support me and follow my progress!!! If you don't mind me knowing who you are, please leave a post with your name and how I can get ahold of you if you don't mind me calling/ writing/visiting with you to show you how much I truly do appreciate your continued support in my recovery! I wouldn't have made it this much better without all of your great support, and I guess Al's been a pretty good boyfriend through the past almost two years of my life!!! Also, I am SO proud of all my Daemen girls, esp. Mand, Kel, Heather, and Lisa! I'm proud of you girls too Lyss and Colleen, and if I forgot someone then I'm sorry, but I'm super proud of all my friends who graduated this year!!! I love you all ALOT ALOT!!!!!

Hey everyone! This is Nat again, and I just wanted to say hi and update everyone on how I'm doing. We all just got home from 2 1/2 weeks in England, where we visited with both families. We had a great time and I think I may have surprised people (especially Aunty Ann and Uncle John) with how much better I've gotten! Yay! I'm planning on moving back to Buffalo at the end of the summer w/ Al and going back to college. I only have one semester left to graduate, but I'm only going part time and spreading it all out over a year. I'm SO pumped to be back with my Daemen girls, and this time I'll have Al there w/ me all the time, so it's the best of both worlds! Oh yes, and my best friend EVER (Alyssa Wright) will only be 45 minutes away, so I can be sure to visit w/ her LOTS. Oh yes and I can go annoy her family (who I love and they love me really)Yay! Ok that's enough about me now, leave messages about what you're doing please! Love you all!

Minor Surgeries

Nat is having plastic surgery today to improve two of her scars...it is a minor surgery so recovery hopefully won't be too bad (after what she's been through it should be a walk in the park!) Next week she will also have surgery on her toe that has been bothering her for awhile now. The Foulger clan just returned from England...I'm sure Nat will fill you in later, great to see everyone! Send Nat some good vibes today please! Love you sister!

Hey guys it's Nat-

I don't think most of you know, but I've been making most of the posts here on the blog. I'm tricky in the sense that I got the password from my Dad, and change it when I don't even think he knows I do it. For those of you in England, we all got home safely, obviously. Dad, I hope your trip is going well. Make sure you take lots of pics. to share while you're there! I'll probably be ready to start driving when you get home, so you better be ready to take me. I just gotta get Kyle and Mom to take my car in to get the tire fixed sometime soon. Thanks for planning a GREAT trip back to your homeland! I MISS AND LOVE ALL YOU ENGLISH RELATIVES ALREADY, ALOT ALOT!

Nat

Thanks

Thanks to the young doctor. It's comments like that that help me to keep going and getting better. Which hospital were you at? I was in school to be a PT and have even considered taking my MCATS to try med. school. In fact, I was planning on getting my bachelors, which I was only one semester away from (because I'm a dork and took college level classes in high school). I don't know if I could handle it now, so I'm just taking things one step at a time, which is hard for me to do. I'm enrolled in a Community college course now and hope to go back to school, at least part-time, in the fall. I'm sure there will be posts on how that all goes in the future. I have my family, awesome doctors and therapists, and my wonderful boyfriend to thank for how far I've come. I'm a strong-willed person, so I won't let this slow me down! Yes, school will be harder for me, but everything that's happened makes me want to be a part of the medical community even more, even if I am in school for twenty more years. I may have missed two years of school, but I will become involved in the medical community somehow, and a brain injury won't stop me from that! If anything, it makes me want to help other people that have gone through something like this even more.

Hey

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to say hi to you all and let you know that I'm doing great! I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year! I also hope 2008 is treating everyone well! I had a great holiday season! It was nice to be home w/ my fam. and Al (who I live with now) this year. We even had a smaall New Years party at our apartment. So this year was much better than last, except everything with you Colleen. You came through it well though, which was no big shock to me bc. you're much like me, you're a strong person. I can't wait to come to England and see everyone in the spring! Especially you Nanny! It seems like forever since we have all been there (which it has been since your wedding Uncle Guy and Aunt Terri)! I mean Tracey and Nick;s daughter was only a month old at the time and they hadn't had their son yet and now their 8 and 9. As many of you already know, we all just got back from Florida, where Becs ran the Disney marathon. She did great and even qualified for the Boston Marathon! I hope to do the same someday and I'm almost at the point where I can start running again, thanks to my great therapists at St. Camilus and the ones at Sunyview (which I go back to in a month)! I'm taking a cooking course at JCC in the Spring and hope to be back at Daemen in the fall, at least part time. I won't be running yet, but from what I read, it's a miracle that I can walk good and eat on my own! Anyways, I'm doing great and can start driving again right after I take the course and test in Rochester (which is where one of my best friends-Alyssa- and her family live)! Alright well I hope you all have a great year and thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. You've helped me get where I am today and where I hope to be a year from now!!
