    So stoked to hear the good news…a good friend of mine almost died falling 3 stories from a crane a couple of months ago, but went on to make a great recovery and is stronger than ever and back on his FMX bike…I know the same will happen with Chi. Regards to Chi, his family and The Deftones…from Bryan Rupert in Johannesburg, South Africa

    Great news! I’ve been waiting for it.
    The agony is being lifted and Chi is coming around.
    He’s going to have that day shortly when he is able to speak with greater ease and just naturally moves his body without a struggle to make it happen.
    That will be a huge moment.
    It will be like “I think I’ll just reach out and grab that hand today.” and it suddenly just happens.
    That simple and that powerful.
    He will be walking away from all of this with family and friends as an even stronger person.
    Complete and total freedom is on the way.
    He’s going to be grinning from ear to ear.
    I’m stoked about his continued progress that just keeps on rolling.
    We’re with you, Chi and Family!

  19. Hello Gina, all:

    I used to post frequently on a forum for fans of PRS guitars. A member there (the owner of the forum) had a close friend in a coma.

    If you’d like to read a hopeful story about it, there are 8 forum pages of posts for nearly 2 years of updates. Its a good read.

    http://www.prsforums.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6670

    Please get better, Chi. Your music was all I felt I had to turn to in bad times as a teenager, and it helped me pull through. I hope our good vibes and well-wishing will help you pull through.

    Jason

  20. Chi is out of the coma????
    He’s talking?!
    That’s wonderful!!!!
