Horrible news, but it sounds like the immediate prognosis is reasonably good.
FWIW: a bike-club friend of mine was hit several years ago and spent a month in a coma, then nearly a year in inpatient recovery. He's alive and functional, but can no longer ride a bike (no balance). He helped out at the club's big ride two weeks ago. He's doing pretty well, considering.
