CHI CHENG NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[oneloveforchi]

hey all,

i know chi looks pretty out of it here cuz his eyes are closed.. but you have to understand that there are meds he has to take to help control these episodes he has.. and they can be pretty sedating. i have pics of him when he is sitting up eyes wide open as well and he looks great. it has been quite a journey and it isn't over yet... but one thing is for sure.. this is progress! i think he looks great. if his eyes were open in this picture would you have the same reaction blix?

i think it's kind of crap for these pictures to be posted on the internet. he's in a position of weakness and i don't believe these pictures serve any real purpose. if chi was completely cool with these pictures being taken and distributed online then hey, i would be okay with it because he's okay with it, but that photo makes me both depressed and mad.

and blix.... one thing you can be certain of is that not one thing that is decided on chi's behalf is done without a huge amount of consideration, love and thought. chi's mom, jeanne, would never even consider posting pictures that she knows would upset chi later... and she knows him very well.

i think the pictures in no way represent weakness... i think they represent an incredible amount of strength and fight... and absolutely give his fans a realistic idea of where he is at in his recovery. i think it is needed that people understand this. there are people who have emailed me saying "that is great.. you are almost at your $100K goal. and ya it is GREAT, awesome! but also not realistic to think that is all he will need. chi's recovery will take much more. he isn't going to just bling his eyes open one day and say "hey wtf happened??" like they do in the movies. the docs i have coming in to see him (with the 84% success rate) to start this new protocol can easily go up to $10K - $15K a month at a minimum. and that doesn't even cover his other needs like speech, physical and occupational therapy, etc. so when i do reach my $100K goal.. i am not stopping there in my fundraising efforts. i will keep going as long as chi needs me.

so anyway.. this is reality.

thanks to all of you that continue to support and love chi thru his recovery journey... it is going to make one hell of a book for chi to write.

one love for chi,
gina

How bout everyone stops posting about how sad this picture is and how much it's depressing you and you feel it's a bad omen. If you don't have positive thoughts to send to Chi then don't post anything. And BTW let's all remember that no matter how sad seeing this picture may make US feel, CHI is the one who's IN A COMA, and HIM PERSONALLY, HIS FAMILY and close friends are way more affected by this whole situation than pretty much any of us could ever imagine. People on the internet whining about how much this upsets THEM really cheapens the whole situation. I know it's scary to see him like that, and that we all care a lot about him, but we can't dwell on the negative. We must be positive and strong for Chi.

ya positivity and strength is the best energy to be putting out for chi... that would serve him the best.. that is for sure.

i will be visiting him the 14th-18th... looking forward to  hanging out with him and his awesome family.

and just to clarify.. it isn't a "coma" that he is classified as being in... he is "minimally conscious".

one love for chi,

I'm disgusted that Gina had to read some of those posts...

It's a new year, let's start fresh and forget all that negativity.
Cuz 2010 will mark the return of our man, Chi.
Can't wait for his triumphant return!

no worries nathan. actually when chi's mom told me she wanted to go ahead and post the pics i warned her that there would be people that may say stuff that may be negative or not in agreement of posting the pics... her response was something along the lines of.. "why would they say something negative??" she was shocked that anyone would ever have a negative thing to say.

but ya.. i agree with you. 2010 will be a great year for chi. full of progress! i can't wait to see him in about a week. if anyone has any messages they want me to read to him when i am there just send them to me thru the one love site.

one love for chi,

Gina, I just wanted to say your work brings tears to my eyes. Thank you from the bottom of my fucking little heart. I feel like you have brought far more awareness to helping Chi than even the band has, and for that you are forever in my thoughts.

aww.. thanks appreciate your kind words. i guess myself being a stubborn ass is paying off these days.. going to have to let my mom know about that.. haha.. considering she was always bitching about me being soo stubborn. 

nah but seriously.. there is no way i can let up or slow down... chi is still fighting every minute of every day.. and THAT is what motivates the hell out of me to keep thinking "what else can i do to help???" as chi's brother ming always tells me.. "we can sleep when we're dead!"

i just want chi back and recovered - and it's going to happen!! you know that right?

i will keep you guys posted on my trip to cali and the benefit.. are any of you guys going to be able to make it to the benefit??

one love for chi,
gina
