Chi Did It Again!

Author: gina

hey all, (crying tears of joy!!!!)

chi did it again! he grabbed for his bedrail and succeeded and is holding on still! this is such great news!!! i talked to the new docs today and we discussed one of the medications chi is on that controls his episodes (he hasn’t had one for a long while since he has been home) and they told me they would be taking him off of that and had a better solution.. ironically enough this is the med that momma j had cut in 1/2 the other day when he first grabbed for the bedrail… and she cut it in 1/2 again today! here is a pic of him grabbing for the bedrail tonight.. and also momma j wanted to share some pics of chi too. the one with chi and momma j you can see chi trying to open his left eye… sweet progress. give thanks! and keep those blessings coming! love and happy holidays to you all our sweet one love family!

P.S. is it just me or does our brother look 10 years younger? he doesn’t have a wrinkle on his face!

    very happy to see such progress, i have to say how strong chi’s family has been through all this, if it were me i would have fallen apart, if this happened to my little boy , but then again you never know till you are there, much respect and admiration for momma j

  2. Daniel Martinez says:

    Haha Nice job Chi!!

    You are in our thoughts and prayers.

  5. syd chely says:

    That’ great, i’m really happy to see he can do that.
    I’m praying for him each time i can, and send him kisses and hugs from France
    Hold on man you’re not alone…

    Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! This is the best chrismass present nowone could have ever give to me. I have tears coming out of my eyes right now at work lol… chi you are a survivor and I know that soon enough you will be back on stage more awesome than ever and please when you do ask your bandmates to come to ottawa, (ontario) Canada lol…

    The Deftones cannot be the same without you, and I was born listening to the deftones, grew up on the deftones and I will die listening to the Deftones. Ur music is not just music, it’s an inspiration and a way of life.

    Now I will keep on praying for you and your family, take the time to heal and soon we will read in the newspaper « Deftones rocked Ottawa with Chi back to life and the crowd GOES WIILLLLDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!! »

    I am very proud of your progress, soon I will donate funds to help, but please forgive me as I am still in college and very broke. But my heart beats with you buddy, all the fuckin way

    Die hard fan here writing in and sending a prayer over to Chi and the family. You’re right about the photo, not a wrinkle on his face! Young he is indeed! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone over there with Chi.

  8. brandi says:

    That’s great news guys! and you’re right Gina he does look so much younger.

  9. Sugarnova says:

    Fantastic! The power of love and prayer works in so many ways!

  10. Dan says:

    I’m so happy for Chi. This is amazing progress (keep going!) considering the type of traumatic brain injury he sustained.

    My father had a nearly identical experience happen with him back in 2005 that nearly killed him. He was in a coma for nearly 6 months before he began to show any signs of life. Now, nearly 5 years later (seems like so long), he’s living a fully functional life (albeit some minor speech impediments) and has resumed enjoying every new day he’s been blessed with.

    Strength from within will carry you through, Chi. You have always served the people of this world with your amazing talents and your even more amazing soul. I know this of you because only a true spirit and overseer of all his/her fans would stop playing in the middle of “Say It Ain’t So” to save someone in the middle of a mosh pit from being brutally mauled by a ruthlessly hostile crowd.

    ONE LOVE BROTHER!!!

    thanks for sharing your inspiring story about your dad. glad he has had such a great recovery.. and i have faith chi will too.

    one love for chi,
    gina

  16. BonnieBB says:

    oh my gosh. I feel for him so deeply. Those pictures of them really hit me in the gut. He does look wonderfully healthy and young! I can just see it on his face, it must be so frustrating. I am certain he is in there thinking, trying. I only yesterday had the joy of spending a 24-hour period with a young man with Cerebral Palsy and it was very awakening. He is clearly full of joy and intelligence and just cannot control his body enough to communicate properly. I could see his frustrations and we just had a wonderful time because he knew I understood. I didn’t treat him like a child, as so many people do.
    Anyway, I can see this look on Chi’s face in the pics that he is so anxious to move forward and a challenge like this is one that only someone as strong as he could endure and make progress in. He is truly a rock and I know he will come through on the other side of it with not only success, but so many stories to tell.
    I have never met him, but this whole story and adventure, I feel that I have been a part of it with him and his family and all of you others who are following along and getting involved. I sincerely hope that one day I will be invited to meet with him and his family and new friends. I feel so strongly a part of the group! =) Thank you all so much for sharing this with us and allowing me to have something new in my life to care about. I have been here since before the accident and will remain forever.
    Truly yours.
    BonnieBB.

  17. BeezyBonez says:

    I am so happy to see that everything is going well with chi I prayed for him all the time. I prayers still stay with him and his family.

  18. Efrain says:

Plus you have that everlasting dream to spill and tell to everybody!! Nothing but good vibes till your back with us bro.. Stay strong!

  19. Warren says:

    Reading this new almost made me cry too in all honesty, wow, hold on to that beautiful life you still have coursing through you chi! It will only get better, bless you and you’re lookin great! Infinite love and energy to the whole family and everyone fighting so beautifully and tirelessly.

  22. Pardi says:

    this is good news! a way to start the new year…you’re already there bro chi! *tears in my eyes (such joy indeed)

  23. BonnieBB says:

    I just wanted to add how suiting it is, re-looking at the photos.. I forgot to mention it last time. His knuckles read “HOME” it’s like a message in itself. I have such faith, and I really believe this month is his month. I’ve watched a change.. in you…

  24. Caroline says:

    YAY! This is amazing news. I’m so proud of him and all the progress he has made! He is SO lucky to have such amazing people that care so much for him. I’m praying for him every day.
    Stay strong, Chi and family!
    Much love.

  25. Flávio says:

    Força pro Chi e pra toda a familia dele, tive oportunidade de ver ele no palco, dia 10/20/2007 em São Paulo, foi o melhor show da minha vida e vi Deftones novamente agora em 2009 junto com Faith No More, enfim, espero ver Deftones pela 3° vez com Chi novamente no palco.

  32. frank says:

    chi soy de ccs venezuela y cuando empece a tocar el bajo fuiste una de mis grandes influencias ya que tu musica tu arte expresaba ni adolecencia y mi dolor por lo que mas adelante en el mundo comprende que las cosas son tan efimeras y que la vida es tan simple quizas demaciado, cuando vinieron a mi pais y tocaron fue el ultimo concierto de mi vida y en algun momento me di cuanta de tu humildad en el ecenario cuando le distes las gracias a todos los que estabamos esperando para ver tu arte, en vivo aun que sea una vez en la vida, no entiendo por que por dinero, pasan los males y las penas, ojala sanes pronto y puedas seguir tocando…realmente me da tanta ira y desolacion, que pase esto
