with all of our combined efforts after i launched the www.oneloveforchi.com (http://www.oneloveforchi.com)site - and everyone that has come (and STILL coming) together... we have raised over $25K which is enough for us to begin hyperbaric oxygen therapy for chi. i researched my ass off not long after the accident and found that this type of treatment has been VERY successful in helping coma patients.. the only problem was/is that insurance co. do not cover it... and it isn't cheap.. and well shit.. his insurance had already bailed. this was a HUGE motivation for me to launch the fundraising efforts.. and i could not have done this without all of you great fans that have helped me along the way.
so then i searched for portable hyperbaric oxygen chambers because our dear chi isn't able to be taken into an office for treatment without huge efforts and treatments need to happen twice a day for 2 hours each.. while i was looking i happened to find one on ebay that included assistance of a doctor who is certified in this type of treatment and would assist for a year if we bought it thru him... now here is the universe in action.. turns out he is 4 miles from where chi is.. tell me that wasn't meant to be? so i call him up.. hook him up with chi's mom... now known to me as momma j.. and he went to meet chi.. momma j has already picked out the chamber with his assistance and it has been ordered. it should arrive within days. the funds we all raised together will pay for the chamber and his treatment. so i can't say thank you enough.
so.. ya.. we have done alot for our dear chi. and he is now on a road to a faster recovery. for those who are inclined enough to learn more about the success other people in chi's condition have made recovery with this type of treatment just google "hyperbaric oxygen therapy coma".
this community is awesome and i just want to take the time to thank all of you who have been helping me. we are making such a huge difference in someone's life who has done so much for all of us for many years now via music.
i added a new page to the site about all the stories i get about chi's random acts of kindness.. you should check it out: http://oneloveforchi.com/index.php/category/chi-stories-from-fans/ (http://oneloveforchi.com/index.php/category/chi-stories-from-fans/) and if you have any to add plz let me know.
much love to you all great people.
