Chi Cheng Update

Several days ago it was reported that Deftones bassist Chi Cheng was coming down with pneumonia, just 2 days after being released from the hospital in his "partially conscious state" (Chi was badly injured in a car accident back in 2008 which he has still not recovered from). But yesterday an update was posted on the website One Love for Chi which stated:

"hi Gina! let me send you a quick blog to our lovely onelove family,


Mae has been staying with Chi for most of the time since Chi went into ICU on Thursday. Today when Sal and I wentin to see him, he looked better than we had expected. He was quite aware of what was going on. He is still on life support and not enjoying the tube down his throat.


He did respond to us and they are going to try to ween him off the breathing machine tomorrow. When they tried today he did not do well but he has been on it before and gotten off without incident.


He is sedated part of the time but knows that he is near home and we are waiting to get him back to the house. He knows that we are there. Sal read him all of the comments that were sent to him and he knows that there are so many people sendingprayers and love.


Sal took a few pics for me to share with you. He is quite intensely listening to what I say and responds in different small butdeliberate ways. He knows that we are waiting for him.


Thank you all again for the prayers and support! He wanted so much to be home and you all brought him home to California and to his family. We are so grateful! Please keep him lifted in prayer. Blessings to you all family!
