List of injuries

A lot of these sound severe, but she is in STABLE, CRITICAL condition.
Here are a list of her injuries.
-Head Bleed (also called a Brain Bleed, but it is stable.) This is causing her to be disoriented and affects her speech/responsiveness. This is a result of head impact trauma that causes the brain to "bounce" against the cranium. (Affects are exactly like a Boxer that gets knocked-out.)
-Several Fractured Ribs
-Rib 1 is broken. This also partially collapsed her left lung. (Doc said that it takes a tremendous amount of force to break this rib.)
-Pelvic Fracture
-Sacral Fracture (lower back)
-LOTS of bruises.

Tyler:
I have not personally seen him, yet. He is now with his Dad and I was told that he had a cut/scrape. LeBonheur released him after about an hour. He is VERY shaken-up and worried about his mom.
