Just got back into town after a few days and saw this on the web. Ugh... hate to hear this. Always a fan of MS and had lots of respect for his talent. Just an awesome driver. [thumbsup] [bow_down] And people say riding a motorcycle is dangerous. [roll] This could happen to you falling of a ladder putting up Christmas lights. Another reason I don't ski. I wish MS the best.
Yeesh, entering the hospital in a coma is not good at all.
Yikes! That sounds a lot more serious than the report I read this morning, which said he was conscious.
Sounds like he went into the podunk hospital conscious, but then winked out, whereupon they took him to the real hospital and brought in his big-gun doctor to drill a vent hole in his head.
Depends how long he's in a coma, but generally it's a very bad situation.

I Hope he pulls out. Sounds more serious than when Masa get hit in the head with that Bolt.
Critical condition in not good... :(
Any news on MS this morning?

Any news on MS this morning?
"We can say that his condition is life-threatening," Jean-Francois Payen, head anesthetician at the CHU hospital in the eastern French city of Grenoble, told a news conference
"For the moment we cannot say what Michael Schumacher's future is," he added. "We are working round the clock - we are trying to win time."
Shit. >:( That's not good to hear. I wish him the best. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. Way too early in his life to lose one of the greatest drivers ever to something like that. Tragic at best. :P
:(
Crazy that he had all those years driving and only a broken leg ..now this from skiing :(
I truly hope he pulls through

Godspeed MS.
Press briefing, just now, told they had done another procedure to relieve cranial pressure - with good results. Also, that the scanning shows some other smaller bleedings.
Best wishes
In cases of traumatic brain injury, a hemicraniotomy is often indicated.
This is where they remove 1/2 of the skull to give the brain a place
To swell. You can imagine that this exposes the patient to a pretty
Significant risk of infection.

If any body can pull through from such injuries I'm sure Michael can due to his fitness and will to succeed.. [thumbsup]

(CNN) -- Michael Schumacher's manager has revealed that a journalist tried to sneak into the French hospital room where the Formula One superstar is being treated Tuesday.
His manager Sabine Kehm confirmed to CNN that a member of the media had attempted to gain access to the room at the University Hospital Center of Grenoble disguised as a priest.
That's just sick. Stick a scalpel in the dude's ass and throw him out the door. Damn media vultures. Some journalists are like the paparazzi with pens and writing pad instead of a camera. >:(
I hope they prosecute aggressively and don't let the journo hide behind some "freedom of press" nonsense. Then again, France has much more stringent privacy laws and therefore press restrictions than we do, fastwin.
Wow, first I have seen this. I have skied at Meribel several times and lived in Grenoble for 2 years. Crazy. Get well MS.

that doesn't sound good.
Still not good, but from 'critical' to 'stable' :-\

It is astounding to me just how quickly ones life can be changed. Who would thought a F1 driver would be nearly killed in a 12mph skiing accident, while wearing a helmet!
It is things like this that remind me to live each day to it's fullest. Which I am going to go do right now, time for a quick ride.
"Michael Schumacher's lucky charm has been found at the scene of his tragic skiing accident.
Rescuers reportedly found the African bracelet buried in the snow, German newspaper Bild reports. Superstitious Schumacher wore it at all times, even during Formula One races.
After the lucky charm was discovered missing at the hospital, his rescuers offered to scour the site of his accident to recover it."

Doctors are going to start to reduce the sedatives to bring MS out of the induced coma.
Fingers crossed.

I sincerely wish him and his family well. But I have to admit I have a feeling of dread about his condition. I keep waiting for a glimmer of positive news... and I keep waiting. My prayers and thoughts are with him, his wife and kids.

Pretty make the beast with two backsing poor taste that. I am all for a little satire but that was a freaking low blow.
Not much, but some positive signs...

From the manager:
Das Statement von Sabine Kehm
„Michael is making progress on his way. He shows moments of consciousness and awakening. We are on his side during his long and difficult fight, together with the team of the hospital in Grenoble, and wekeep remaining confident.
We would like to thank you all for the continuous sympathies. At the same time we again ask for understanding that we do not intend to disclose details. This is necessary to protect the privacy of Michael and his family, and to enable the medical team to work in full calmness.“
Is said to have moments of consciousness.

'Out of coma' can mean the start of a meaningful rehabilitation, or not much at all. From the sound of his manager's statement we might never hear news ever again - if there is no progress...
Nothing wrong with hope I guess [thumbsup]
I'm afraid you're right, this will be the last press release.
Until the one announcing he's died from pneumonia or a UTI or the like.
I'm sure he's gotten the best care available on earth.
I sure hope that's not true.
I will continue to believe there is a glimmer of hope that we will see him visiting the track someday.
It is hard to think otherwise.
Carry on the good fight, DD! [thumbsup]
Over the years I've become more cynical, and have lowered my expectations and thus am disappointed less frequently.
I'll try to dial back the clock, it'd be good.
Im just going to hope he shows up someplace again.

I only hope that the family has the fortitude to do what is right for Michael Shumacher.
He has now moved back home, where the treatment continues. Some progress has been made.

Careful with your GoPro.

So, who mounted the camera?
News Flash!
Mounting a solid object to the outside of your helmet may compromise it's protective ability!
Some progress made...
Small steps in the right direction.

Mickeal is probebly at a stage where he as to relrarn to walk, talk etc... it's a long process .. my boyfried took 3 years after is accident to be able to fonction relativelly 'like a normal" person
No significant news, other than manager Sabine Kehm correcting glossy magazine Bunte's statement about Michael's assisted walking as false.
We'll have to continue hoping [thumbsup]
