it may be akin to burying my head in the sand, but i'm going to disregard the recent news as just pure speculation. MS's doctors haven't released any news to the public and are keeping a pretty tight lid on things, so most of it is just speculation (of course, some of it is from very experienced doctors) and until such time as some definitive news is given, i will continue to remain hopeful that he will pull through!
come on schu, one more lap. |

Interesting headline, if you read it carefully it is reporting not on his condition, but on the rumor of his condition.

To be fair yesterdays news was hype and a load of rubbish from a random neurologist speaking attention.
He will have permanent damage when they decide to wake him up, it might be a lot it might be not noticeable. We won't know until that happens, there's plenty of people walking around today that have half their brain blown out, sometimes you get the damage in a spot you don't need so much sometimes you get unlucky. Keeping him in a coma is to give him the best chance to recover with the least damage possible, nothing more. They won't wake him up until all the bruising has gone and everything has healed imho. Could take a while. |

Not really good news unfortunately. But there is always hope.

Each day that passes with Michael still in a coma is making the chances of a full recovery look less likely. I hope he wakes up soon.

I saw an interesting story in the comments on one of today's news articles on Schumacher. It was posted by a guy who was in a coma for a full month, basically identical damage to Schumachers although probably not in the same parts of the brain. He was saying the recovery took a long time and yes not the same plus has epilepsy now, but nine years on he's reading writing and walking just fine. He said Mike if I can do it you can too, good comment it was. From what I read six months is the longest people have done an induced coma for and recovered but I understand the usually semi wake you up regularly throughout to see how well your brain is firing back up. Once it looks like it'll run at full power without swelling, then they wake you all the way up. If you can.

Apparently he's being slowly woken now and responding well (only an anonymous source from the hospital). Not sure how many days they stagger that process over but it looks like we will know something soon. Wishing him luck.

As much as I would love for that to be true until it comes from the mouth of the doctors, his family and or the management team I take it with a grain of salt. To much speculation not enough facts out there right now.

As above, I was watching the autosport live feed of the Jerez test and just now they are reporting his management has confirmed they are backing off the sedation.
My understanding of how they do it. Is wake you up half way, ask you your name etc, monitor the brain activity then put you asleep again, they do this for some days before fully backing off the drugs. At least that's what I read. |
