Thank you so much everyone. I can't tell you what your good wishes and concern mean to me.

I didn't get a lot of sleep last night thinking of how it could have been a lot worse and growing angrier at this driver who wasn't paying attention and going too fast. I know that's all normal feelings for a mother and will pass in time but boy I feel like an angry bear with her cub right now.

I'll be in daily contact by phone with Kate and Nicole and thankfully they are staying with Nicole's family while they apartment searched so Nic's mom will watch over Kate and make sure she does exactly as the doctor says. My oldest tends to pooh pooh doctor's advice a lot of the time so that's a concern that she won't rest enough or wear the collar 24/7 as she's supposed to right now. I gave her my "mom" talk about that.

Anyways, thanks again folks. You really are a wonderful community of caring, good people.
