Still in a coma, mother Jeanne has posted a new blog this morning regarding the status of Deftones' bassist Chi Cheng and his recent visit from Fieldy of Korn!



"Chi's condition remains stable," Jeanne exclaimed at the start of her blog on the band's MySpace page. "He is still hooked up to a respirator to control his breathing, but can now breathe on his own. Yesterday, while visiting, I let him know that all his fans are praying and waiting for him to wake up. He responded by moving his eyes underneath his eyelids. We are so very happy with all of these small victories."

These are incredible signs of healing for Cheng, who just two days ago was "able to hear and respond to his father's request to move his lower lip," after a considerably short amount of time following the accident.

Y"esterday Fieldy, the bass player for Korn, came to see Chi. As his visit was concluding, this nice, wonderful man left me with this, 'we have the freedom of choices to make, but do not have the freedom to choose the consequences of the choices we make.' We make so many choices each day, both small and large, that shape the lives we live. Can anyone create a life making bad choices?"

Jeanne has been updating the band's MySpace blog daily and we can assume will do so until Cheng fully recovers. And what would Jeanna's blog be without her daily assignment!? They truly make you think about the importance of life.

"Please think everything through today, both the insignificant as well as the important. Make positive choices and be aware of the consequences of your actions. Doing this will you and those around you better."

On November 4, Cheng was involved in an automobile accident, resulting in his current state of comatose.

The Deftones, nearing 21 years together, is working on their sixth full-length, Eros, and has been posting various studio videos from the recording process on their studio blog.  Their last record, Saturday Night Wrist, was released back in 2006.
