That's terrible! It seems so much worse when kids get hurt not because of something they themselves did wrong, but because of someone else's stupidity. Of course it would be terrible no matter what, but this way-- I mean just walking home from the library... It's sad.

I hope and pray that your daughter's friend will pull through and eventually be okay, and her little sister as well. I also admire your daughter for her strength, this isn't an easy thing to go through. It's good that you're there for her through this, being with her and taking her to see her friend and so on. I'll keep your family and her friend's family in my prayers. Keep us updated!
