Today, Monday, June 16, 2014 - Family, friends and fans of
F1 legend Michael
Schumacher rejoices as news of recovery from coma by the famous race car
driver spreads. Michael
has left the Grenoble Hospital in La Tronche, southeast of France to resume
full rehabilitation outside of the public’s prying eyes. Michael’s family,
doctors, nurses and staff have extended their appreciation to all the people
all over the world who have prayed and wished his well-being since the fatal skiing
accident that happened late December of 2013 just a few days before his 45th
birthday last January 3, 2014. Michael has been in
long induced coma after he was airlifted and rushed to the emergency of
Grenoble University Hospital. Michael regained consciousness
last April but needed to still be under sedation as per his doctors diagnosis
and further observation. Michael will recover
and recuperate at the Lausanne University Hospital called the ‘CHUV’ which is
nearer his family’s Swiss residence.
Although the statement given by Sabine Kehm, Michael’s
manager shortly after the legendary F1 driver had left the Grenoble University
Hospital did not give any further details on Michael ’s medical
condition. Kehm was quoted saying that Schumacher would ‘continue his long
phase of rehabilitation.’ With such
statement, some could only speculate the long term side effects of his injury
therefore taking longer rehabilitation. But since Michael was an
athlete and in top shape, a few good months would probably a good recovery
period. Around the world, colleagues, friends and fans have posted well wishes
for the fast recovery of the 7-time F1 Champion. Doctors and experts hail the
move of Michael’s
transfer to a facility near his home as this will speed up the recovery portion
with family support as much as possible. Ever since the accident, Michael’s family
kept on constant vigil by his bedside in the hospital.
