Schumacher injured in Skiing accident (out of coma)

[tfp]

What's the update Dj? Our prayers are with the shoe!

I've provided a summary of the press conference, here : Daily #F1 News and Comment: Monday 30 December 2013

Be careful, sounds pretty devastating

Thanks mate. Here's hoping for the best.

This was so hard and sad to read. I just found out about it now on google news. I am very fond of Schumacher and am thinking of him, also appreciating the support for him on this thread that seems to have come very quickly.

It seems a second surgery was not carried out, whatever be the reason or if it did or not, hopefully he is doing well -

Doctors said Schumacher had been placed in an artificial coma but, contrary to an earlier French media report, said they had not carried out a second operation during the night and were not planning any further interventions at this stage.

I think as time passes and we don't hear any bad news, it gets better for him, I believe the first 48hours after such an accident are crucial, beyond that it should hopefully get better. Win this Schumi!

It's more like the first 3 weeks that determine the extent of his brain injury. He was put in hypothermic state (lowered body temperature) and artificial coma. An M.D. told me he will have to stay in that state for two to three weeks at the very least as the brain swelling will worsen before it receedes.

We can only wait and hope.

I am saddened to hear about this and I hope he gets better soon.

[David Lowndes]

I, like everyone else, hope that in typical Schumacher style he pulls through against the odds.

Michael, your year begins with a tremendous challenge; this time though, we all want you to win. Godspeed

That's not how we wanted this year to end. Poor Schumy. Get well soon.

there has been another press conference just a few minutes ago and the doctors said that they performed another surgery
during the night where they removed a hematoma (bleeding) in his skull. The surgery was successful and Michael's condition
is slightly better today then yesterday but things could still change rapidly in either direction.
