Doctors To Begin Waking Up Michael Schumacher

By Ajinkya

Michael Schumacher has been in hospital since December 29, 2013, after he sustained injury in a ski accident, which left him in a coma.

The F1 legend hit his head over a rock, while skiing in the Meribel resort. French police is yet to figure how fast was schumacher skiing, when he came across the accident.

Doctors and Michael Schumacher's agent have confirmed, they will begin the waking up process of the Seven-time German Champion. The sedative used will be lowered, in an attempt to get Schumacher out of the artificial coma.

Sabine Kehm, Michael Schumacher's Agent stated, "Michael's sedation is being reduced in order to allow the start of the waking-up process, which may take long time."

The German is in a stable state, however considered critical for over four weeks. He is being treated at Grenoble in France.

During the weeks after his accident Schumacher has been operated twice. It may take days or weeks in the waking up process, based on the dosage of medication.

It still remains unsure as to how much will Schumacher have recovered. The period of coma which he was in was relatively longer.

Professor of intensive care at Edinburgh, Peter Andrew, believes, the German may have swelling owing to severe damage. Normally head injury patients will be kept in a coma for little over a week.

We wish Schumacher a speedy recovery and hope he fights out of the predicament as he has always fought on the race track.
