Based on the fact that Nat still is in the coma I will assume she is closest to level 3 of the Rancho Levels of Cognitive Functioning:
Level 3
Localized Response
Total Assistance Demonstrates withdrawal or vocalization to painful stimuli. Turns toward or away form auditory stimuli. Blinks when strong light crosses visual field. Follows moving object passed within visual field. Responds to discomfort by pulling tubes or restraints. Responds inconsistently to simple commands. Responses directly related to type of stimulus. May respond to some persons (especially family and friends) but not to others

I think about you everyday Nat. I can't wait to see your smiling face again. Love you!

This is great news. I must admit that we were a little confused yesterday when we read that Nat was in reahab responding to commands. This site is perfect way to spread the good news. There are many people checking for updates who never comment. You all are in our thoughts and prayers daily. Safe travels to the Daemen ladies visiting their Natalie. It's not the same without you!
