The Arana family is calling on the PUP's Jose Mai to step up and pay up for knocking down their mother. Since the accident, the family hasn't gotten any financial support from Mai and they say prayers and words of support won't pay the mounting hospital bill. Today Julia Arana's son Nissan came to our studios and gave us an update on his mother's condition and to send that message to Mai.
Nissan Arana, son of accident victim
"Up to now the furthest that the doctors are saying is that she is still in a condition that's not recognizable so far. They are waiting for after the medication wear off what will be her response. But to talk to her she doesn't recognize anyone."

"So she's not responding?"
Nissan Arana, son of accident victim
"Right now she is not responding and not talking at all. She listens, but she doesn't recognize anything."

"What is your response to Mr. Mai? What do you have to say to him?"
Nissan Arana, son of accident victim
"I would really appreciate that he comes up front and say what he can assist us with. UP to now from Friday that I saw him at the station, up to now I haven't seen him as yet. Yes he calls me, but we don't get to any agreement how he could help us out. It's because of his incident my mom in this situation you know."

"What are you seeing for your mother's future and what are the doctors saying about your mother's quality of life after this?"
Nissan Arana, son of accident victim
"Up to now the doctor haven't told us anything yet what will be on the longer term. The way how I see my mom, I'll be honest with you, she will not be like first, a person who was very active - she won't be like that. So that will be a big responsibility now after that."
