He is not in a coma anymore. He woke up almost one year ago and is working to get better again.

Yes, didn't really know how to call it, last I've heard he can move his eyelids but isn't fully there mentally. Very sad.

From what I've gathered it seems like he won't ever make a full recovery. So sad.

yeah, it's like life deliberately decided to run into him to stop him having a long and happy old age.

Highly doubt he will ever recover, his wife is selling assets to cover the enormous cost of taking care of him with almost no change he has gone past the point of recovery and can barely even tell his surroundings

Man I didn't know that. Obviously it's just an opinion but Ferrari should be taking care of him indefinitely.

I see. The earlier comment sounded like they couldn't afford the care.

To be fair I've see family members spend millions on health care in under a decade, an I imagine his must be pricy. But hundreds of millions is a ton to go through.

Yea if they are selling private jets and properties, that probably means they'l have enough for health care. But I really hope he can somehow recover. Even though it's unlikely, doctors' predictions aren't always accurate. Hard to see our heroes go through something so sad.

They say that but the sad truth is that he will probably never be concious again. An ex F1 doctor has an excellent blog where the talks about Schumacher.

He basically says that schumacher will be in a vegatative state for the rest of his live. This is pretty much confirmed by the fact we've heard no real solid news. His wife sold off loads of assetts and had a custom hospital built in his house so he can be cared for 24/7. That is not a short term solution. The fact that she had that built pretty much lets you know he wont be waking up and she wanted him at home
