Michael Schumacher remains in the ‘wake-up phase’ according to his manager, Sabine Kehm, who is the German’s official spokesperson.
The seven-time champion is slowly being brought out of an induced coma which he was placed in on December 29th following a skiing accident in which his head struck an exposed rock.
After 30 days in the coma, his doctors began the process of waking the 45-year-old, but his family says it’s a long process and they remain positive that he will recover.
“Michael’s family would like to again express their sincere thanks for the continuous sympathy coming from all over the world,” said Kehm in her latest official statement.
“The good wishes they receive help the family and, we are convinced they also help Michael, who still is in a waking up process.
“As often in such situation no day is like the next. The family is thankful for one’s understanding that they would not wish to disclose medical details in order to protect Michael’s privacy. As assured from the beginning we will continue to communicate any decisive new information on Michael’s health state. We are aware that the wake up phase can take a long time,” she continued.
“The family continues to strongly believe in Michael’s recovery and place all their trust in the doctors’, nurses’ and nursing auxiliaries’ team. The important thing is not the speed of the recovery but that Michael’s heal process progresses in a continuous and controlled way.”
