Many thanks!

Just wanted to drop a quick note thanking everybody for their prayers and well-wishes! It really meant a lot to me of the past few days.

To quote my aunt, my mom "looks pretty good for someone who looks that bad." She got really banged up -- ( cut for list of injuries )

All in all, while it's still really serious, she actually came through it better than she could have and we're all just grateful she's alive.

I've got pictures of the car in the lot where it was towed here and here.

( Cut for accident description. )

I also wanted to thank everyone who expressed concern about my Wednesday night drive from Seattle to Boise -- it made me much more aware of what I was doing, and kept me from making this an even worse occasion than it has been.

My mom's got a very long recovery ahead of her, but seems to be on track already... they're hoping to release her to a rehab facility early next week sometime, and then maybe even home a week or so after that, depending on how well she does.

Thank you all once again! And I'm likely to be offline for the next few days -- not as much of a chance for internet access at my aunt's house.
