If he gets through this with all these lesions and heamotomas is there any chance he will be the same if he does pull through?

I should imagine it's far too early to say. It could be weeks before he comes out of a coma so only time will tell.

Some good news is certainly welcome this morning

Dismaying, but not surprising :-/

Stable condition, here is hoping he pulls through.

Ah, this is better than the GD thread that quickly descended into the typical tripe I expected.

Hoping for good news. Going to be absolutely gutted of this goes bad.

~Mike~ · 1 Jan 2014 at 15:56

Let's hope there is an improvement in the next couple of days.

Duke · 1 Jan 2014 at 17:00

Going to be long weeks/months of news :|

"Michael's condition has been carefully supervised overnight and his condition remained stable overnight and also this morning. The good news is that we do not have the feeling to hold a press conference because there is no significant changes," Sabine Kehm, Schumacher's manager and spokesperson, briefed reporters.

"That is, for the moment, good news, but it is just for the moment. Michael's injury is heavy, it is very early and we are still in a critical situation."

Really great news to hear he's improving. 44 would be way too early to go.

Family of Michael Schumacher rubbish reports 'he is out of danger'

A friend of 45-year-old's offered a ray of hope of Friday when claiming he had been told by a surgeon that there was no longer a threat to his life.

Speaking outside the hospital former F1 driver Philippe Strieff told reporters: "I'm not a doctor, I'm repeating what Gerard Saillant (surgeon and friend of the Schumacher family) told me. He said it is a serious condition but his life is not in danger anymore, thankfully."

I wonder if this surgeon was actually at the hospital and involved in the surgery.
If so, then the rumour might well be true that he's out of danger.

arknor · 5 Jan 2014 at 15:22

interesting that he already had some brain damage on the part of his brain that controls motor functions and he never brought it up in his second career as an excuse

Blasted and debunked. Strieff doesn't know anything.

Do the local judges get involved all the time when someone badly hurts them self in the Alps skiing?
