As some of you know my oldest daughter, Kate, who is 20 recently moved to Texas - for the first time in our lives very far away from mom.

Kate was involved in a serious hit and run car accident yesterday. Her vehicle was totalled, the other driver fled the scene. She thought she was just shaken up (thankfully she was wearing her seatbelt) however she just didn't feel right this morning and went to see a doctor. After x-rays and a CT scan it's been determined she has a fracture in her C5 vertebrae. I know with proper care my oldest baby will be fine - it's just not much comfort when I can't be there with her as I've always done.

Please put her in your thoughts. I hope they catch the (words I can't say here) person that did this to my daughter. I'd really like a few private moments with that driver.
