After over three years in a coma, Chi Cheng is now beginning to emerge from an unconscious to partially conscious state. As you’ll see in the video below, Cheng is now able to move his leg when commanded. In October, he began being able to make grunting noises since October.
Cheng was injured in a car accident in late 2008 which left him comatose and requiring surgery to remove part of his brain. Seven months after the accident, he was no longer on life support. Two years later, Cheng briefly emerged from his coma in short intervals. More than a year later, Cheng is able to respond to commands more often and now has the use of his legs.
Those looking to monitor Cheng's progress should follow the official website for his recovery fund, http://oneloveforchi.com/. (As of writing this, the website it down which I would imagine is a result of today's news.)
