Jeez mate, I really felt for you just then. That's awful just read this. As others have said that's too longer list for someone so young. Sending my best.

Thanks man. I should do an update, but was going to leave it until tomorrow now.
Anyway they surprised us with news that they could let her come home today, a day early. So I drove up to see her. She’s looking a lot better but completely different to how she was before. Her eyes are completely red, not just bloodshot pink. She’s in high spirits, can’t do anything physical for quite a while due to the skull fractures and the loss of eyesight has been traced back to the optical nerve at the base of her skull which has been damaged by the fracture so it pains me to say that she will now have permanent blindness in her right eye.
However, undeterred, she wants a new helmet and bike and to get out with her friends. Still amazes me.

Talking of bad driving. My 10 year old niece was hit by a van on her way cycling to school on Tuesday.
She came out of her friend's driveway without looking and into the road however police have said her injuries are consistent with being hit at above 40mph though there is no physical evidence as far as I know. This was just before 9am on "School Road"...
She has broken her skull on both the front of her head and at the rear, broken both sides of her lower jaw, both cheekbones, nose, lost several teeth and inhaled one, split the roof of her mouth in two of which one side has collapsed making eating and drinking currently impossible and has a blood and CSF leak in her nose. Currently she has lost sight in her right eye and feeling on the right side of her face but we're hopeful that this will improve and is down to the swelling.
I've read some pretty horrific crashes and accidents in the news and on this forum but I can't explain the feeling when it happens to someone you care about.
Why can't people just not drive like dick heads ffs.
