The Deftones blog reports that the accident was last night and that Chi is in “serious, but stable condition” which is very good news considering the possible alternatives.

Is it April 1st again?

I was waiting for that.
Unfortunately, not a joke.
Still no updates on his condition.

The Deftones are reporting that the doctors treating Chi are optimistic about his recovery.
The Cheng family thanks everyone who is praying for Chi and asks you to keep sending positive energy.

More good news. Chi is responding positively to a few tests, including demonstrating that he can both hear and have reflex response.
He is still heavily sedated.

Chi remains stable and the doctors anticipate that he will wake from his coma soon.

Chi is breathing on his own, but is still hooked up to a respirator, and is responding to conversation with eye movement.
This is all good news.

Definition of irony: The last book Chi bought before the accident is “Wake Up” by Jack Kerouac.
