Michael Schumacher fighting for his life

The latest news is that Schumacher has had two operations during the night , his family are with him and his 14 yr old Son was with him ski-ing off piste
in Grenoble. A Neurologist is on his way from Paris and suggests there is a blood clot on the Brain or it has swollen. Tributes and messages of hope have been sent from around the World.

Thoughts and prayers to Michael and his family at this time. xxx

Yes Krisy 22, Car racing has never appealed to me , but when you think of the risks in that compared to ski-ing, it doesn't make sense does it. He was an accomplished skier and owns a property in Grenoble

As I write a new bit of News.......he only had one op, not two and that was to remove blood clots. The Brain is swollen and a Doctor said they cannot comment on Michaels' future which sounds ominous. Apparently he is an accomplished skier and always wore a helmet , so he must have fallen and hit his head on a rock I presume .

This is so sad, really hope he pulls through

He has received tributes from around the World and the irony is cherry 1, that Motor Racing is far more dangerous than ski-ing .

Yes and his family must have been so pleased he came through all the Grand Prix years intact for this to happen, but he is a fighter so hopefully will come through this.

The latest news it will take 48 hours for the swelling to go down before an assessment can be made on what damage has been done. Jackie Stewart looking quite old said Michael is fit and he is confident he will come through this.

That's good, I just hope he hasn't suffered brain damage

Sounds slightly more positive.

Its been denied by his manager, sadly.

The wife of retired Formula 1 star Michael Schumacher has appealed for privacy and for reporters to leave the clinic where he is being treated.

He has been in a medically induced coma for the past eight days following a skiing accident in the French Alps.

Corinna Schumacher called on the media to "let the doctors work in peace".

Local media in France report that footage from a camera attached to Schumacher's helmet is to be used by French investigators.

According to the Dauphine Libere newspaper, the images may help investigators piece together details about the accident, such as the speed he was skiing at and whether signs on or near the piste were visible.

Asking for support in "our joint fight alongside Michael", Mrs Schumacher said: "It is important to me that the doctors and the hospital be left in peace to work - please trust their statements and leave the clinic."

She also called on reporters to "please leave our family in peace".

There has been considerable media speculation over Schumacher's condition in recent days.

The hospital treating Schumacher for head injuries in the French city of Grenoble says his condition remains stable but critical.

Prosecutors investigating the accident plan to give details of their probe on Wednesday.

Schumacher won seven world championships and secured 91 race victories during his 19-year career.

He won two titles with Benetton, in 1994 and 1995, before switching to Ferrari in 1996 and going on to win five straight titles from 2000

It's not looking very good is it, in an induced coma for all this time. I think the Press ought to show some respect , Schumachers' Wife could hardly get through to the Hospital entrance for Reporters last night.

Better news, just hope continues to improve
