letters for chi/ fundraiser/ update and prayers

Hell_Tanner · Feb 09, 2009, 01:02 AM

Here's a message from Chi's mother Jeanne, lost in all the positive replies to the original message I posted earlier (just look around it's there):

"It hurt me to stop doing the updates and the daily deeds. It was such a simple thing and made the world a better place. I thank every lovely one of you for doing these good works for Chi and for all of us. Anyway, it was felt that I was getting too personal and I am still trying to get my web site up. Back to Chi. I will try to be more specific. These three months have been very difficult and it has been two steps forward and one step back. It has taken so much strength to beat pneumonia four times, collapsed lungs, numerous infections including meningitis, brain surgery....shall I go on? Your prayers and God's faithfulness are the biggest reason that he is still here and fighting. And he is starting to move his hands some of the time and his feet and legs some of the time. It is progress and he isn't giving up. And I do let him know daily that you all are praying and sending him love. Our love goes back to you, as always! Jeanne"

and an other one:

"Please allow me to clarify the improvement/no improvement issue. If I had posted on the Deftones page, it would have mentioned that his trac tube was due to be removed. In point of fact, it came out about 6PM last night. The doctors do consider this to be progress. I wish it could be said that Chi was up and doing the happy dance, but not at all yet. He is still in a coma part of the time and part of the time he can look at us and work to move his foot and leg a few inches off of the bed. We, his family, are happy for these small victories. It is a marathon, not a sprint."

Holy shit, I had no idea Chi was dealing with all that... Fuck me running.

Maybe it's best he is not awake.

I just hope the best.

It's so good to hear that there's some progress.

Let's try and keep the arguing to a minimum. In this thread at least.

13hourstoparadise · Feb 09, 2009, 02:17 AM

I know, I'm sorry, as I said above no more will come from me...

Best of thoughts to ya Chi.

** New email from Chi's aunt **

"Pass this on....everyone should stop what they are doing tomorrow, Wednesday, Feb. 18th and pray for Chi to wake up from his coma.

Thank you"
