What an absolute tragedy

I'm hoping for the best, but it's not looking good after reading that.

Given the time I think it is to be expected, its almost like the family have given us time to come to terms with the reality of MS's health...

Think he is better off dead imo. He lived life to the full if he woke up he would probably be like a vegetable and nobody wants to see their hero like that. Best to remember him with good memories.

Does he remain ventilated all this time?

 

[arknor]

I can't believe he's still in a coma after all this time

Must be hell for his kids

I hope he recovers.

Miracles do happen

They will try to wean him off, but the simple answer is, no one knows for sure if he's still on the ventillator.

Reading theformerf1doc, he says that most long-term / persistent vegatitive coma patients die with respiratory or urinary infection

Hope it's a good sign.

Wakefulness WITHOUT consciousness is the definition of a vegetative state. The eyes are open, but there’s no interaction with the environment. If Sabine had “only” said that Michael was showing wakefulness, it would mean that he is not comatose. That in itself is a damned sight “better” than persistent coma, not just in terms of life expectancy, but in terms of the chances of neurologic improvement.

But Sabine has also told us that Michael is showing signs of consciousness. My lord, the brain is an amazing organ. And Michael a remarkable man. What does this consciousness probably look like? It consists of episodes of clear, purposeful interaction with the environment, and/or clear signs of awareness of self, even if these signs are not constantly present. For example, if Michael smiles when a member of his entourage talks to him – reproducibly and consistently on at least a few occasions. Or following people with his eyes. Or trying to communicate, or obeying simple commands. Any of this constitutes objective signs of contact between the “outside” and the “inside”. This then would be a minimally conscious state. And that is about the best news we could possibly get right now

Fingers, toes and other regions crossed!!

If you have more than one of those to cross, you need medical intervention even more urgently than Schumacher did.

Didn't even know he was still in a coma, forgot about him/this to be honest.

Hope he pulls through!

Interesting take. But asking us to pray to 'upstairs' and say thanks is just plain wierd. Thanks for making the guy hit the rock ? Thanks for the brain bleeds that left him where he is today. Come on.

What has got him where he is are doctors, nurses and family helping his mind and body in overcoming a massively unlucky accident.

That was denied about 4 hours before you posted it. Infact it was denied before the article was written.

any chance of a link with that?

It was Bianca Garloff, stating Sabine has made no such statement.

Edit: While that is one German news source against another, Sabine has always, both during and since Schumacher's career, been very deliberate with her statements, that I doubt she's suddenly started mouthing off to RTL, as the original sources suggest. Though for once, I hope she has.
