Let's hope it doesn't prove too serious.

Schumacher is waking up!

F1 champion Michael Schumacher is showing "moments of consciousness"

Well, its still not looking great, but that news is at least Good News.

Any positive signs are good. Lets hope there is more good news soon.

That's far better than I'd thought it would ever get. Still not holding out much hope for a decent recovery unfortunately

[Robinho]

6 months or so since the accident and still not one positive sign, or piece of news, other than his body is still being kept alive. The latest news suggests he has been moved from intensive care and is 'out of danger" but he is either still in a coma or in an awake but uncommunicative state. Whatever the long term medical prognosis for his body, it seems clear that Schumacher, the man, died in the accident.

We cannot rule out that he will still make a full recovery, but it does seem this is the most likely outcome

[Robinho]

In my, non medical, opinion, I am willing to say there will be no recovery of any note, not one that provides any quality of life. I think in some ways it's almost worse the way this has been dragged out, regardless of what chances there were of recovery when the accident happened. This way he is almost fading out with no fanfare, and will be recorded as having died months or years after the event which ultimately looks like it will kill him. I still hope I might be wrong, but I really don't think I am

Funny you should bring this up today as breaking news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-27868787

F1 legend Michael Schumacher has left hospital after the skiing accident that nearly killed him, and is no longer in a coma, his family says

[Robinho]

I did a news search the other day, which had the news that he'd left intensive care for rehab and was "out of danger". It didn't say whether he was still in a coma or not and didn't have an official manager or family statement. In this case, I'm not sure "out of the coma" in necessarily good news, when it's not couple with any information about his state

Edit, in fact a few terms I've just seen include "medically awake" and suggest he can't talk or move. Really struggling to see the good news here

I guess this is the point where we actually find out the extent of his injuries.
