Girl I know got hit by a car a few days ago. She's in the hospital hooked up to a dozen or so machines keeping her alive. More drugs in her blood than blood making sure her body doesn't fail.
Kids only 14 and she's a cyborg.
Her parents are putting on a good face, at least everyone but her mother. Nobody's really required to *look* good in circumstances like this, though. Everyone is optimistic. Doctors are using the phrase "looks good" talking about her brain.
Oh yea. Her brain. Her body will recover. It was the 20 minutes her heart wasn't beating, and however long she wasn't breathing that's gonna cause trouble. Once she wakes up, anyway.
I have way too many thoughts running through my head about all this.
