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

Like I said a serious pinch of salt. RT has picked it up on their online ticker thing but I'm guessing that's probably from the same sources. http://rt.com/news/line/2014-04-25/

More reliable person saying it's false, so I guess it was all just a rumour. https://twitter.com/bgarloff/status/459692303180120066

My wife just seen something on twitter that Schumacher is waking up. A statement from his manager Sabine. I'm not on twitter to post the link.

There was a fake story on Twitter yesterday about him waking up. I'd be very careful what you get from Twitter.

Has there been any positive news in the last few weeks?

I think at this point the Schumacher family are just staying quiet, and letting Michael recover in his own time.

It is, it is not impossible that he can wake up but it is not looking likely sadly.

Tippex

Its being quietly reported that he has been moved to a rehab unit.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorsport/formulaone/michael-schumacher/10897795/Michael-Schumacher-moved-to-rehab-ward.html

The last couple of lines of the article are quite telling.
The family have been so quiet about everything I feel sadly that there is no hope of him making any real recovery.

robinwing

I saw this last night on one of the Michael Schumacher Supporters German Facebook page , it looks like the final spark of hope is just about extinguished , feel so sad . Today is Friday 13th if you believe that kind of rubbish , I don't

T-Maxx

"On Friday, the popular German magazine, Bunte, which specialises in celebrity news, reported that Schumacher had been moved from the intensive care unit at the Grenoble hospital to a rehabilitation ward."

To be taken with a pinch bucket of salt then...:rolleyes:

Although I agree things are looking gloomier by the day.

Sometimes in cases like this its better to allow the person to die with dignity than put them through all this when the chances of any meaningful recovery are non existent.

I know it sounds cold, removed, & harsh...but at the end of the day, there are fates worse than death. A permanent vegetative state is one of those instances if you ask me.

I have to agree here. It's terrible but necessary at this stage

I think technically he still falls into the class of persistent vegetative state at the mo, but from 12 months on, it's classed as permanent. It'll be six months in a coma in two weeks or so...so a long way to go yet. It's hard to really discuss it when updates are so rare, for all we know things are very different than they seem...but you would think good news would be made public, so people at this stage I think can be forgiven for assuming the worst.

johnnysmack

Am i the only one left with blind hope? I'm certain he's gonna wake up whether its tomorrow, next week or next yr. I know all the odds are against but miracles do happen. Come on Michael!

Hardly, I don't think there's a person on the planet that doesn't want him to recover. However, the literature at this point seems to suggest that after this long in a PVS (persistent vegetative state), he will be met with significant challenges should he come around. It seems to be the case that the longer someone is like this, the less likely recovery actually becomes. The last official update was a very positive one, but since then, there has been no news & naturally speculation & rumour once again take hold.

They do but it would have happened by now.
There are some things that are worse than death and what he's headed for is one such thing.

Still a long road ahead but this is great news.

Amazing news wish him all the best on what will surely be a tough road in rehab.

Bild are reporting that he has opened his eyes and has communicated with his wife and children.

Was only wondering yesterday what the latest was. C'mon schumi pull out of this.

Great news. Delighted!

GavRedKing

Great news, hopefully he makes the best recovery possible.

Nice one Michael, never doubted you for a second.

Keep the recovery coming!

Now that, if true, is nothing short of incredible.

I know that he's far from out of the woods yet but I consider the news that he is out of a coma as something positive.

Yes it is positive, it's a step in the right direction. To me though the previous official update kinda suggested he was out of coma status, or was at least beginning to come out of it (moments of awareness). This newest update is just confirming it. It's the last we'll probably hear for a long, long time...I wish him well & hope to god his quality of life is good.

That`s a disgusting comment to make. Take a months holiday from the motorsport forum

To be fair, the wording lacks any empathy or delicacy, and could have been put infinitely more sympathetically. However in reading the very sketchy reports and the fact that this is all very low key, I wouldn't be holding out for a full recovery - honestly my initial thoughts were albeit regrettably along a similar vein...

MadYaker

Irish Times reporting he has left hospital. Great to hear.

errlloyd

I don't speak German, but the language of the reports in English is quite particular.

BBC says "Michael Schumacher has left hospital". As opposed to "Michael Schumacher has been taken out of hospital" for instance.

I'm really praying for a miracle here. I want to see him smile again.

sham69

Brilliant news.
The man is just too strong to give up.
Long road ahead but surely signs are good if he is out of hospital even to be transferred to another.

Chuffed...

That is great news, thanks,

Good news

intellectual dosser

This has happened very suddenly. Definitely encouraging that he is said to be communicating, but Im concerned about the lack of detail in the information being released.

Hoping and hoping for the best.

v3ttel

Cautiously optimistic, the news is obviously positive but the lack of detail is still a bit of a concern.

Forza Michael!

It was announced very suddenly alright but it does not really mean that it happened very suddenly.
There is very little information in the statement from the Schumacher team but it's been like that from the start.
Hopefully it really is good news.

andyman

Sorry to be speculative, but I reckon he's been awake for some time, but nothing reported until they were ready to release him to rehab. It's all far too sudden.

Keep fighting Michael!
