I know this is the dredg talk section, and I did see a thread in non-dredg talk, but I thought everyone should see this. I imagine I am not the only Deftones fan on this board.

From theprp.com

The Deftones camp have put out some more updates on band bassist Chi Cheng's current condition. Band drummer Abe Cunningham checked in with the following:
"Hi,
I spoke to Chi's mother this morning, the Neurosurgeon treating Chi says the first 72 hours are critical, and as of now he is fighting the good fight and the doctors remain optimistic. We are seeing your prayers in action. The family asks that all the prayer warriors out there to continue to pray for Chi, and keep sending out your positive energy!
Today's good deed for Chi is to call someone you love, remind them of that love by saying "I love you," and like yesterday remind them to buckle up.
-Abe"

Meanwhile, Chi's mother has also checked in with an update which states that Chi is expected to endure a tough recovery and will more than likely be able to return to the stage.

And this from the deftones myspace page:

Hey everyone, As of today chi is holding strong. He we be so happy to know the good things you are doing out of respect for him in his downtime. For day three, Please, if your gonna party find a designated driver beforehand and of coarse stay buckled. Chi's mother (Jeanne) asked if I would post these words from her as well. -Chino. "When asking Chi's head neuro surgeon what kind of thank you gift we could get for he and his team of doctors he responded that some of the surgeons love the Deftones and he would like them to have tickets for when chi's back onstage. He expects a tough recovery but in the end expects Chi will be playing his bass again. Praise Jah. For himself the doc has a special request for all of you. He will give you more details soon. It is 1:00 am now and I am with Chi. I've been reading your emails to him. You are so wonderful. My heart aches with love for you. We are all connected." - Jeanne (chis mom).

Jonah Matranga played San Jose last night and talked about it. Chi's basically still in the same shape...no worse and the docs are hopeful. Jonah sang Be Quiet and Drive and dedicated it to Chi.
