Just wanted to give an update on Jonathan and Christy. He is still in ICU and will be having surgery on his leg to try to cover the exposed bone. Christy is doing very, very well. She was moved yesterday from step down ICU to her own room. This is such great new. Now I'd like to comment on Pablo statment. Pablo, this was a true accident due to possibly his back tire blowing out. He did what he could to try to keep the bike under control and try to avoid an "accident." Now Pablo, I'm not sure if you've had a family member to go through something of this nature, but this is my brother and sister-in-law that you are refering to. When and if you sit in this situation, you may see things a little different, hopefully you will not ever have to go through the pain and sorrow of not knowing if they were going to make it or what type of physical condition they may be in after this is all said and done. You should consider what you say and how that effects the family and friends.

Anyday Pablo posts one of his idiotic rants is my time of the month. My parents certainly did want me Pablo, and still do. You are such a waste of space. You're cruel and heartless, and now you've proven just how stupid you are for not even knowing the meaning of the word accident. Cathy, no one is on here defending drunk drivers or people who cause an accident on purpose...as if that really happens enough to mention. I agree with you Rich, WSAZ should stop Pablo's insanity and not allow him to post his stupidity on here....it could be contagious.
