''Well we are not out of the clear one hundred percent just yet, we are just very blessed right now that he is still alive, we did get a bit of bad news, but I won't be ready to talk to anyone until he is feeling better at a later point.'' Says, Felisha.
Last week firefighters and ambulance responded to a call of a man pinned under a cactus tree, they later transported him to Yuma Regional Medical Center where he underwent surgery for a broken back, legs and an arm injury.
