Relatives of Germany’s comatose Formula One champion, Michael
Schumacher will “not allow themselves to be discouraged” despite
reports that the driver’s chances of emerging fully recovered from ten weeks
of unconsciousness are minimal, his manager has insisted.
Schumacher suffered a serious head injury after striking a rock during a
skiing accident in the French
resort of Meribel in late December. He is being treated in hospital in
Grenoble where he is in an artificially induced coma. His family including
his 45-year-old wife Corinna, is maintaining a bedside vigil.
Officially, the injured driver is now in a “wake up” phase as doctors
gradually reduce the dose of drugs they are giving him in an attempt to
bring him out of his coma. Yet signs of a recovery have been minimal.
“His family is incredibly strong, they won’t let themselves be discouraged,”
the driver’s manager Sabine Kehm, told Germany's RTL television channel from
Grenoble on Sunday.
“They are here every day. They are brave, they accept the situation and try to
carry on together with Michael. I have to say the family is coping
magnificently. I have great respect and admiration for them,” she added.
