The reasonable expenses of the necessary medical care, treatment and services she has incurred in behalf of Krista Blanke. I Aplt.App. at 231-32. 12 The record testimony from the deposition of Dr. Hayes states that Annette told the doctor the accident was on December 6, 1994, and that she was hospitalized on that date, see II Tr. 419-20. However, these statements concerning the date must have been inadvertent errors. Elsewhere the record establishes the date of the accident as December 7, 1994. See Agreed Pretrial Conference Order Stipulations, I Aplt.App. at 174 13 Annette testified that her driver's license had restrictions for daylight driving only and glasses. II Tr. at 185 14 Of course, the jury's verdict of $500,000 in favor of Annette was later reduced to $450,000, due to the jury's finding that she was ten percent negligent.

Prior to the child becoming 18 years of age, withdrawals can be made only pursuant to a Court order made in the case in which the recovery was had. III Aplt.App. at 793. We find no reversible error in this response to the jury
