Michael Schumacher

[Ho3n3r]

Any news you heard ? Read some very bad things but did not wanted to post them here, just to check out if you guys have anything :/

Keep praying!

Nope. Nothing. Twitter would've been all over this, had it been the case, but there's nothing bad.

The only thing trending for today is how he is apparently losing a lot of weight, which is normal for his situation, as muscles don't get used.

 

[Mika Kerttula]

Muscle tensions are very little, when he wakes up his fluids will expand. He has to learn lots of movements like walking, grabbing etc.

 

[Daniel Collier]

Just read this statement from His Manager - Link to full story provided below :

"We are and remain confident that Michael will pull through and will wake up. There sometimes are small, encouraging signs, but we also know that this is the time to be very patient.

Michael has suffered severe injuries. It is very hard to comprehend for all of us that Michael, who had overcome a lot of precarious situations in the past, has been hurt so terribly in such a banal situation.

It was clear from the start that this will be a long and hard fight for Michael. We are taking this fight on together with the team of doctors, whom we fully trust. The length of the process is not the important part for us.

It is heart-warming to see how much sympathy his family is shown and I can say that the family is extremely grateful for it. However, it should not be forgotten that Michael's family is dealing with an extremely intimate and fragile situation. And I would like to remind all of us that Michael has always actively kept his family out of the public eye and consequently protected their private lives.

We try to channel all the energies we have toward Michael and we firmly believe that this will help him. And we believe that he will also win this fight."

Taking very long now

Did anyone watch the Louis Theroux documentary last Sunday on BBC 2?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

No? Was it about MSC?

 

[Shane Butler]

No? Was it about MSC?

No, and nothing to do with F1 at all. But if you or anybody is able to watch bbc iplayer then I suggest you watch it. It's about patients being on "the edge of life" due to the likes of cancer or brain injuries. It was really terrific, and I couldn't help but relate what I saw to Schumacher's situation at the moment. So here's the link. You gotta be from the UK to watch it though unfortunately, unless anyone knows another way.

[Tony Holder]

I had severe concussion 5 years ago.... lost three weeks of my life, no memory. Haven't been the same since.....apparently, quieter and moody. Still get head pains and numbness down the left side of my face.

Wasn't in a coma, so I am lucky to be here still - alive. Others have been worse off.

 

[Philip Heck]

He shows signs of consciousness Sabine Kehm told the press.

[Ron Squire]

COME ON SCHUMI YOU CAN MAKE IT MY SON!!!

 

[SteffenLS]

Good news indeed

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

So, no news as of late?

 

[Ron Squire]

So, no news as of late?

not yet, he is still in a coma

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

Ok, thanks.

 

[theiceman7]

Even if it takes him a while, I will be happy to see him make it through.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Its frightening silent with the news surrounding the condition of MSC.

Its six months now?

 

[Chris Jenkins]

Just over 6 months.

I think it happened between Christmas and New Year?

 

[Harry Westwood]

Just over 6 months.

I think it happened between Christmas and New Year?

Yep around then, 6 and a half months. Not good when induced comas are supposed to last for like one month

 

[Dux]

@Harry Westwood i want myself to believe in that, that they hold him for this long just in order to be sure his brain will rest and return to the most normal situation. I am no doctor i dont understand much of brain injuries, but i believe and have faith that a 7 time world champion, around which best world doctors for that sort of injury are taking care for him, i just cannot believe that anything bad is happening to him now for taking this so so long. All i think and pray is that, somehow, this is the best thing they think it would be for him so finally sometime in the future he wakes up in better condition

 

[Ho3n3r]

Well it's 5 and a hal months now. But still a long time regardless.

He won't ever speak again, I fear...
