Michael Schumacher Suffers Serious Head Injury

Michael Schumacher's health continues to improve. "There are small advances that make us happy and give us great courage," said Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm in the ARD Talkshow by Günther Jauch on Sunday evening and again reported by "moments of consciousness and alertness". This is good news, even if the signs are very small, Kehm said.
Details about the condition of the end of last year crashed Formula 1 world champion did not call the manager: "The concrete things are very private, walking only the family's business."
Kehm told a medical definition of terms: Please distinguish between wakefulness and awareness. One could be awake and have no awareness, or one can have confidence, Kehm said, which meant "one is perhaps in very limited form able to interact with its environment". This is "a prerequisite to keep going."
A medical prognosis for Schumacher did not exist. Each case is individual, Kehm said, any brain injury can affect different view: "forecasts are not possible." Even the doctors would give the Schumacher family no predictions about the future recovery.
Chronology: December 29 Banging to Schumacher
Sunday, 12.29.2013, 11.00 clock: Schumacher is located in the ski area above Méribel. He travels 4.5 meters in addition to a marked area on a rock, loses control and collides with the head on a further 10.4 meters from the first remote rocks.

In this context, Kehm also criticized the media and experts who had expressed without detailed knowledge about Schumacher's condition. "Most of the remote diagnostics have annoyed us in which Michael was promoted already in a hopeful state."
Even Schumacher's companions Jean Alesi - the former Formula 1 pilot had reported recently on a visit to the hospital in Grenoble and on the state Schumacher - criticized Kehm. "Such remarks imply that there are new reporting, new interpretations of reality pass in part," the former journalist said. To some extent, thereby manifesting a "virtual reality that has nothing to do with reality," Kehm, who reported almost unbelievable incidents in the hospital in Grenoble said. Thus, a man had spent as a father Schumacher to penetrate to the patient.
Schumacher had suffered severe head trauma from a fall in late December in Meribel and was transferred to the University Hospital of Grenoble in an artificial coma. End of January, the recovery phase was initiated in early April for the first time reported Kehm of "moments of consciousness and awakening" at Schumacher.

Thought there would be more about this.
At least it seems confirmed that he had moments of awareness etc.

I wouldn't trust that source and I don't think he's going to make that kind of recovery, not trying to sound pessimistic but with such a severe injury I dont think its going to happen
