Schumacher injured in Skiing accident (out of coma)

[BleAivano]

Thank you for your message Steve, I don't have any personal experience of it but I know of
cases where the patient have suffered head injuries and long comas and still seems be at
a reasonable health level.

Thanks for sharing that Steve. I know its not easy in such times, I have had somethings happen very recently with my mother. But I'm glad you have her and she is living happily. I hope Michael can recover quite well too.

Thanks for sharing that experience with us Steve. Sorry to hear about your mother and it's great she recovered enough to enjoy a decent quality of life. It must have been tough for you all.

Not as close as a parent but a good mate of mine had a serious accident on a dry Ski slope in 2002. I watched it happen and he had a 50mph accident through a fence and landed on his head in a car park. He was in intensive care for 2 months and in hospital for a year before spending another year in a rehabilitation unit at the Radcliffe in Oxford. Like your mother Steve he is partially paralysed down his one side, left I think, but is mobile these days. His speech is still slurred and he walks with a leg brace. He was only 19 when it happened and in an instant his whole life was changed. He's a happy chap though and gets on with things which is great. I had a lesson in the human brain and how precious it was that night in 2002 and it's the main reason I would never get on a bicycle without a helmet. Ours heads are too precious. It's experiences like this with Schumacher that highlight why it's never easy to tell how much someone will recover. I really hope Michael gets his life back even if he never gets behind the wheel again.

Very sad indeed, hopefully this doesn't become something severe.

It's another case of media over-dramatizing.

Of course a pneumonia is serious bit is not really that kind of a big setback or something like that
but rather something all intubated coma patients will suffer from.

Read what the F1 Dock writes, calling it "a small bump in the road".

The rumour (like many times before) was started by the German tabloid Der Bild
and I would assume that since there is no official news about Schumi they have to make up their
own to news by twisting and turning on every little rumour to have something to write about.

Sad Day

The Doctors say they are done - He did not wake up

Official reports say the process continues, but the lack of progress and positive news is worrying, and I expect more rumours of this nature in the coming weeks.

Latest from Sabine Kehm, and only small news, but I think everyone will have their fingers crossed the small signs develop into larger much more promising signs.

"We remain confident Michael will pull through & will wake up. There sometimes are small, encouraging signs"

Schumacher is waking up!
