Thank you for this article. I’m so relieved to learn that her injuries aren’t life-threatening. My family has been very worried. The driver ran a red light and hit her at full speed. Horrible, and very scary. We will check back on the falcon in case any news of her recovery is shared. Thoughts are with her.
