Family in crisis after a horrible accident

Donation protected
My wife Jenny was in a horrible motorcycle accident on Saturday night. She lost control and hit a curb throwing her onto the street. She suffered serious life threatening injuries including several badly broken ribs, a fractured vertebra in her neck, she had a pneumothorax on that side along with a pulmonary contusion. She also badly fractured her left scapula causing a cardiac contusion that lead to her going briefly in cardiac arrest. She fractured her left elbow an suffered a severe concussion and was found unresponsive in the middle of the road by a passerby that likely saved her life by calling 911. She was taken to the local Lubbock level 1 trauma center, where she was treated and admitted to their trauma surgical ICU. She has multiple surgeries ahead to fix all the broken bones, but is getting stronger. Our daughters 11 and 13 years old are doing their best to cope and be here for their mom. They start school in a week and getting to any similance of normal seems impossible at the moment. I was working when the accident happened at the hospital where she was taken. I am a nurse on another ICU in the same facility. I had to leave my post to be at her side where I spend most of every day. We had just moved to Lubbock from Minnesota this spring to be closer to friends and for a great opportunity to work at this hospital. No one is sure why she decided to go out riding that night other than it was her birthday that day and she just wanted to enjoy a ride. She was a safe rider and had been riding for years after taking a comprehensive ride safety course.  She loved riding her bike and never took chances. This was a terribly freak accident that took the wind out of all of us. We are insured, but with deductibles and time lost from work for both of us, along with the fact that we already spent almost $10k to move here, I am really worried that I may not be able to keep up. Any help would be amazing and forever appreciated.
