hey all,

so wow… tonight was a great nite!!! not that what i did tonight has anything to do with chi’s recovery… but i have to tell the whole story. i have 3 kids and i don’t “get out” often but my mom happened to take my kids for a few days and i had the chance to hang out with one of my oldest and dearest friends tonight. during the nite i told her something that ming and momma j tell me all the time and that is “you can sleep when you are dead!” and i said but nothing can replace these great moments filled with laughter and enjoying eachother’s company. so for me the whole night i felt a huge amount of gratitude. for life. for love. for family. for friends. anyway.. so i go home and i went outside and stood there looking at the sky and i said something along the lines of “God, Buddha, Jehovah, universe.. whatever is out there i ask for a miracle to happen tonight for my friend chi ling cheng. please bless him and give him progress tonight. THANK YOU!!!” no more than 10 or 15 minutes go by and i get a text from momma j “are you up?” and i answer “yep” and she calls me. she is giddy as a school girl! she tells me she witnessed something she has been waiting a year to see. i ask anxiously “what???” chi reached for his bed rail and grasped it and seemed to be trying to pull himself up (notice in the picture!). i know it may seem to some people that it doesn’t sound like much of a milestone but it is HUGE! just that he made the attempt to grab something and succeeded is amazing. i don’t know if you realize how much it takes of the brain function to make this happen. i know i didn’t until i researched it. it would be a great step forward even if he just reached for something and not actually even grasped the object. one of the questions momma j has been asked by doctors is “has he reached for an object?” and until now the answer has been no.

momma j asks that anyone who reads this and feels joy or relief please look up and give thanks and gratitude to the God that makes all things possible. all good things come from above. He has a plan and it is a plan for good.

thank you all so much for your faith and support of chi and this website. you mean so much to us all. you are amazing! this family we have created here is just awesome. momma j and i spend time in the chat room frequently and we have gotten to know alot of you… and if you haven’t been there yet please pop in now and then if you notice us there. http://oneloveforchi.com/index.php/one-love-for-chi-chat/

blessings!!!

one love for chi,
gina

UPDATE: it’s been 3 hours now and i just talked to momma j again and chi is still holding on to that bed rail.. he won’t let go. HOLD ON BROTHER!
