Deftones’ Chi Cheng Diagnosed With Pneumonia, In ICU

[deftoolsys07]

from theprp.com:

Ailing Deftones bassist Chi Cheng's health has taken a turn for the worse. Following a fan-funded return home from New Jersey, Cheng—who has most recently been in a partially conscious state following a 2008 car accident—has been diagnosed with pneumonia.
Some postings by his family made today via Oneloveforchi.com have shed some insight on his condition, including:

"SHOUT OUT TO CHI'S WORLDWIDE FAMILY-PRAYER REQUEST-he just got back home last night from NJ and is in ER with SOMETHING serious going on. Pneumonia and don't know what else. Not good! Please send the word again to PRAY HARD. Thank you all! onelove..."
"chi is in ICU on 3 antibiotics for pneumonia. blood pressure and oxygen are both low. please send healing.
one love for chi,
gina"

P.O.D. frontman Sonny Sandoval has also checked in with an update on Cheng via Twitter:

"Spoke with Chi's mom. He really needs our prayers. He's in ICU and still fighting. Gods will be done! @POD @thewhosoevers ?#prayhard"

I would have just posted in the Chi thread but this deserved to be seen by everyone I think...

You're right, but they hyped it up to be something serious now... He even said "pneumonia and something else serious" or whatever... Chi can pull through though!!

Sad to say, but this could be it. I sure hope not, he has battled so long and hard. Come on Chi, you must survive this!! Prayers are with you and your family.

Sending positive thoughts to Chi. He's a strong guy and has come so far, he's strong enough to go much further.

Update From Momma J

hi Gina! let me send you a quick blog to our lovely onelove family,

Mae has been staying with Chi for most of the time since Chi went into ICU on Thursday. Today when Sal and I went
in to see him, he looked better than we had expected. He was quite aware of what was going on. He is still on life support and not enjoying the tube down his throat.

He did respond to us and they are going to try to ween him off the breathing machine tomorrow. When they tried today he did not do well but he has been on it before and gotten off without incident.

He is sedated part of the time but knows that he is near home and we are waiting to get him back to the house. He knows that we are there. Sal read him all of the comments that were sent to him and he knows that there are so many people sending
prayers and love.

Sal took a few pics for me to share with you. He is quite intensely listening to what I say and responds in different small but
deliberate ways. He knows that we are waiting for him.

Thank you all again for the prayers and support! He wanted so much to be home and you all brought him home to California and to his family. We are so grateful! Please keep him lifted in prayer. Blessings to you all family!

What do you expect after everything he's been through and is going through? It sounds like he's doing really well considering, so it's great news, hope he continues to get better.

Sepsis is indeed serious. It's amazing how much he's continued to fight and get through, it's inspirational as fuck. Glad he's doing better anyways.

It's amazing how much he's continued to fight and get through
