    @Ashli: My husband is a paramedic specialist who worked years in a level one trauma center ER. I asked him about what you said and he said you are wrong. No one is admitted into the ICU unless they are either seriously injured or very ill. "Stabilized" means that he is no longer in danger of dying which still means he is seriously injured.

    Oh he was on Suite life on Deck, and she did a song with Justin Bieber. Of few songs from him would be Fire Burning and Dumb love and Eenie Menie the one with JB in it. Not everyone knows this guy but many people do. Yea he is one of my favorite singers and I wish him well soon.

    Aww I love Sean Kingston, he's adorably sweet and his music is positive so I'm really sad to hear this. He and the girl involved are both in my prayers.

    Hi. Sean you are in our prayers and your friend. Be healed and blessed. ICU doesnt have to mean you are seriously injured. ICU can mean the medical team want to keep close observation on him so his condition won't or don't worsen. I am in the medical profession. LISTEN STABLE means good. @SHANNON HOPP WRIGHT.

    @Leslie Boyd: Being stabilized in the ICU doesn't mean he was not seriously injured. You aren't admitted into the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) if you aren't seriously injured.
