“Hi”……..
hey all…
just another quick update to let you know i talked to chi again twice yesterday.. during our second call he was being SUPER vocal. stephanie and i kept encouraging him to get some simple words out… he made lots of vowel sounds.. and “uh” sounds…
then i asked him if he could say “hi” to me… then i could hear him working himself up to make a sound… and he got the “H” sound out. it was obvious he was comprehending my requests (which is huge!) and was making efforts to say “hi”!
it takes an incredible amount of his energy to do this… it was the most vocal i have heard him be in awhile.
stephanie and i continued to cheer him on and encourage him to keep practicing using those vocal chords… and he kept on making sounds. it was awesoome!
keep praying for our brother!
one love for chi,
gina

Gina,
That is awesome! I remember the day that Chi’s accident happend. I was devastated!
I have been keeping up with his recovery, and I know that this is a big step for him. This is so wonderful and I pray for Chi everyday. The power of prayer is awesome! God is amazing, and so is Chi. I’m so glad to see he is making much improvement.
Keep your head up.
Much love,
Miranda

Great news!!!! Keep fighting the good fight!
OH MY GOD, that´s great to hear!!! I hope he keeps trying and getting more and more sounds.
Give Chi a huge hug from me please, tell him that a girl from México sends him a warm hug and prays for him to get better.
My blessing for you, CHI and his entire family.

ps. I didn´t go to Vive latino music festival..i couldnt see deftones without CHI..no sense to me…
Hello, im so glad to hear he is making sounds… Give all my love for Chi. Keep Working Hard Man, i know u r gonna make it, we are waiting for you…
All my love and energy from Spain…
You are in my thougts all time…
3 Cheers for Chi!!!! That is the greatest step and one big hurdle for him. This shows that God is shinning doen on him and bestowing the greatest of love on him. I’m with girl from Mexico, I have a chance to go see the guys in Northern Cali next month and I feel it wouldn’t be the same without our brother Chi there. I want to wait to see Chi play again for the first time. I dont care where it is, I just want to share in another experience with him!!!
Much Love and Blessings,
Jaime
