Communicating with family

0 Comments

Schumacher is communicating with his family by fluttering his eye-lashes. The former racing driver is making such good progress he might be allowed home by the end of next month. It is understood that while Schumacher remains paralysed he is able to answer questions from his wife and children Gina-Maria, 17, and son Mick, 15, by fluttering his eyes. His wife:

The German Grand Prix gives me the perfect opportunity to cordially thank you all for the good wishes and positive energies you keep sending to Michael. I have to say your sympathies blew us all away. It is good to know that together we made it through the hardest time. Now we are facing a phase which will presumably take a long time.

Suffers severe head trauma

Injury0 Comments

Schumacher is in critical condition after suffering severe head trauma in a skiing accident in the French Alps. He falls and hits his head on a rock, said the director of the Meribel resort where Schumacher was skiing. He is presently in a coma at the University Hospital Center of Grenoble and requires immediate brain surgery. Resort director Christophe Gernignon-Lecomte:

We have to wait for a police report. There is an open investigation going on. We insist on the fact that Michael Schumacher was skiing off-piste and his fall is not linked to an avalanche.
