So, things aren't as scary as I first thought. Basically, stupid details ignored, Kira wandered out into the drive, and the grandmother didn't see her, and literally ran over her with her big-ass Expedition. Ran right over her abdomen area...yikes. She has a fractured pelvis, and her spleen is apprently in two pieces at the moment, but the membrane around it is intact, so they don't think it's going to be any problem healing. She's pretty doped up on morphine, and they are going to keep her in ICU for at least one more night, but she's a tough kid, all things considered. There was a little blood in her belly, but that has apparently cleared up, and they really do think she'll be OK.
I appreciate the well-wishings, as does Ella, who asks you all to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
