GMballistic Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Been a long time in this coma now, starting to fear for his well being personally. +1. It has been awhile now. Also if he does come out of the coma he may never be the same again. Fingers & toes crossed for him still. Must be hell for his family.

Meeerrrk Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Richard Hammond was in a coma for a while; he seems ok now. But I know what you mean...it's not good is it. I was never a Schumacher fan, but at the end of the day it's someone's dad, husband, son. Not nice for them.

JetSet Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 This reminds me of the case of Bill Johnson, the Olympic Downhill skiing champion of 1984. Attempted a comeback at age 40 then had a nasty accident and was in a coma for several weeks. Came out the coma O.K but the damage he'd done to his brain meant his health gradually deteriorated over the next few years and he's now in a care home at age 50. Of course this may not be the case for MSC but in view of his age and the length of his coma I'm starting to get a bit worried now.

WhackyWill Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Michael Schumacher has "blinked" and is "responding to simple instructions". Those are the latest unofficial developments to emerge from the Grenoble hospital, after the F1 legend's manager confirmed reports doctors are attempting to ease Schumacher out of his month-long coma. France's L'Equipe, having broken the news about the awakening process, now reports on Thursday that the great German has "blinked" his eyes as Dr Emmanuel Gay performed neurological reflex tests. And Britain's Sky News quoted unnamed sources as saying the former Mercedes and Ferrari driver was now "responding to simple instructions". Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm, however, told the German news agency DPA that she would not "give information about intermediate steps", having confirmed officially that doctors were trying to wake the 45-year-old. And Grenoble neurosurgeon Stephan Chabardes, who on Wednesday confirmed the awakening reports before they were officially confirmed, also was not commenting on Thursday's latest developments.

WhackyWill Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Williams Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa has revealed that he has been to see his former Ferrari team-mate Michael Schumacher and remains “very positive†about his condition as he continues to battle life-threatening injuries suffered in a skiing accident in December, having seen him make small responses with his mouth during the visit.

WhackyWill Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hope this is not true.. Doctors give up on efforts to revive Michael Schumacher: Michael Schumacher has been in a state of induced coma for close to seven weeks after a tragic skiing accident. Doctors have reportedly run out of options to revive him. Any hopes of reviving F1 legend Michael Schumacher from his state of induced coma seems to have ended. Doctors attending to him have reportedly given up efforts to revive him, close to seven weeks after the retired champion met with a tragic skiing accident. According to a report in German magazine Focus, doctors at the University Hospital of Grenoble in France have run out of options after repeated efforts till last week. However, no official reason has been given yet while Schumacher's family has not confirmed the reports either. The 45-year-old German was put in a state of induced coma after he met with a skiing accident in a French resort on December 29. He had crashed into a rock so hard that the impact cracked his helmet. He had been skiing with his son and a group of friends. After surgery to reduce bleeding and bruising, he was placed in a medically induced coma and his body temperature lowered to reduce the risk of further damage. Schumacher's family had announced on January 30 that the drugs used to keep him in a coma were being reduced with a view to bringing him back to consciousness. The efforts though have been without results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Ok so just been searching to try and find more info ~ this is what I've found. Neurologists have warned that Michael Schumacher now seems unlikely to make a full recovery after spending nearly two months in a drug-induced coma.The 45-year-old Schumacher fell while skiing in France and hit the right side of his head on a rock, cracking his helmet. Doctors operated to remove blood clots from his brain, but some were left because they were too deeply embedded. Patients who have had major head injuries are sometimes put in a drug-induced coma to give the brain a chance to heal; a coma reduces the need for blood flow and may help the swelling go down. Aziz said doctors typically try every few days to bring someone out of a coma. 'If you don't start getting any positive signs, that becomes very worrisome,' he said, adding that Schumacher's doctors are probably doing regular brain scans to look for signs of activity - though such signs may be difficult to detect if he is still being sedated. Other experts said it was premature to make an accurate prognosis. 'About 90 percent of the recovery is made within nine to 12 months, so this is still early days,' said Dr. Anthony Strong, an emeritus chair in neurosurgery at King's College London. 'The longer someone is in a coma, the worse their recovery tends to be.' Now that several weeks have passed since the accident, doctors may also have a better idea of how the rest of Schumacher's brain is doing. 'MRI scans can show any secondary deterioration in the brain structure,' said Dr. Colin Shieff, a neurosurgeon at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London and a trustee for Headway, a British brain injury charity. He said other parts of Schumacher's brain that weren't directly affected by the accident might now be starting to show worrying signs that may not have been visible before. Shieff said that if Schumacher does eventually come out of the coma, he probably would face significant disabilities because of the length of time he has already spent comatose. While there have been rare instances of people emerging from comas months and years later with the ability to communicate, Shieff was doubtful that would be the case with Schumacher. He said the cases where comatose people made a surprising recovery had mostly suffered things like poisoning, strokes or failed resuscitation attempts. Something positive that Dr Anthony Strong stated is that it is still early days for the recovery but then followed by some not good news which I'd guess most of us knew that the longer someone is in a coma the worse their recovery tends to be. Doesn't sound good at all. Edited February 28, 2014 by GMballistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
