Liz's accident

Our daughter was in a severe car accident Saturday night. She was driving a 1970 Chevy Nova and hit someone, head-on, doing 40 miles per hour. They say she is lucky to be alive. Right now she is in Northridge ICU. She had surgery to reduce a dislocated hip. Her body is not responding well. She will be in a brace in a reclining wheelchair for 6 weeks. She also broke her back. She has a crack in a least 1 vertebrae.The surgery went well. They put 8 screws in: T9, T10, T11, T12. She is expected to be in a back brace for 3 months.They put in a chest tube to drain fluid. Lots of cuts that needed stitches and cuts and abrasions. Please pray that we get into Rehab at Northridge, and pray for our family as we try to ge through the next 6-8 weeks. Also, please pray for Liz's state of mind as well as her physical injuries. Thankfully, the other people involved in the accident are fine. Thank you all for your prayers and offers.
