Michael Schumacher being brought out of induced coma, confirms manager

Michael Schumacher is slowly being brought out of an induced coma, his manager has confirmed.

There were reports last night, about the 7-time world champion being woken up from an induced coma more than 4 weeks after he suffered a serious head injury in a skiing accident.

Schumacher’s manager has now confirmed that the seadation is indeed being reduced to allow the waking-up process.

“Michael’s sedation is being reduced in order to allow the start of the waking-up process, which may take a long time,” said his manager Sabine Kehm.

The move comes as the latest development in a saga that started on a fateful December 29 day. Schumacher was on a routine skiing trip at the Medibel resort in the French Alps when he crashed head first into a rock after losing control. Schumacher, has since been gravely ill at the CHU hospital in the south west city of Grenoble.

The German legend has been in a medically induced coma for more than four weeks and the longer he remains in that state the more concern there is over whether he will be able to make a full recovery.
