No news is good news. Apparently we are going to have to wait a few days to see any type of improvement.
I am quite optimisctic as he is in good hands and his condition has remained unchanged for more than 24 hours.
As a father myself, I can only hope that he gets to enjoy many years to come with his family.
Forza Schumi!!!

CAVALLINO RAMPANTE PER SEMPRE
Very upsetting going through this again with another ferrari man...
i can see why he takes more risks now than he did when in F1 michael had super contracts, which im sure meant he couldnt do anything that could get him injured. And who knows which heights those demands were? Since he retired it was his hallpass, take some risks and so on.
Really hope it all goes well from now on.
Forza Michael !!!!!!!!!

This is the spot where Formula One legend Michael Schumacher is believed to have suffered a horrific fall while skiing off-piste.
The 44-year-old is still 'fighting for his life' and remains in a coma after the accident, which happened in the French resort of Meribel on Sunday.
Eyewitness say Schumacher hit his head on one of the many rocks in the off-piste area - causing him to briefly lose consciousness.

Brain surgeons battled throughout the night to save the retired racing driver's life, said his anaesthetist Jean-Francois Payen, who added: 'We are working hour by hour'.
He also revealed that Schumacher might not have survived the 'high-speed' fall if he had not been wearing a helmet.
Speaking at a press conference at the Grenoble Hospital, in eastern France, Mr Payen said: 'We judge him to be in a very serious situation. We cannot predict the future for Michael Schumacher.
'It's too early to say what is going to happen and to have a prognosis. Taking into consideration the very violent shock, his helmet did protect him to a certain extent, of course.

'Somebody who would have this kind of accident without a helmet, certainly, he would not have got to here.'
Professor Stephan Chabardes, the neurosurgeon who operated on the F1 star, told the news conference: 'Mr Schumacher was taken by helicopter very quickly to Grenoble Hospital.
'On his arrival we examined him clinically and we realised he was in a serious condition, in a coma, with in fact cranial pressure.
'The brain scan showed a number of pieces of information, some intercranial haematoma (internal bleeding) but also some cerebral contusions (bruising of the brain tissue) and oedema (build-up of fluid).

'We operated urgently to try to eliminate the haematoma. After the operation we saw that we had been able to eliminate these haematoma but also sadly the appearance of various bilateral lesions.
'So therefore he was taken to intensive care to try to help.'
Prof Payen said the hospital did not intend to carry out a second operation, adding: 'We don't feel it is necessary at the moment.
Meanwhile, Schumacher's spokeswoman Sabine Kehm released a statement on behalf of the family, who are holding a vigil at his bedside.
It said: 'We would like to thank the medical team who we know do everything possible to help Michael.
'We would like to also thank the people from all around the world who have expressed their sympathy and sent their best wishes for Michael's recovery.

'We would like to ask the media to respect the privacy of us and our friends and thank them for their support.'
Schumacher's injuries have caused shockwaves across the world - particularly in his native Germany.
Fellow German-born sports star Boris Becker called on Twitter for prayers for a 'full and speedy recovery' for the F1 champion.
German chancellor Angela Merkel said she was 'extremely shocked along with millions of Germans' to learn of the accident.
Schumacher fell while skiing off-piste with his son in Meribel in the French Alps on Sunday morning and hit the right side of his head on a rock.
Resort managers said was conscious when rescuers first responded to the scene.
The Meribel resort initially said Schumacher had been taken to Grenoble for tests and authorities said his life was not in danger.
But the situation began to appear more serious when Professor Gerard Saillant, a brain and spinal injury expert who is also president of the International Automobile Federation (FIA) Institute, had travelled from Paris to the hospital to examine him.

Saillant told the news conference he was there as 'a friend' not as a doctor and gave no further details on his condition.
German news agency dpa said it was Saillant who operated on Schumacher when he broke his leg during a crash at the Silverstone race course in 1999.
In an email to The Associated Press, Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm said the champion German driver was on a private skiing trip and 'fell on his head.'
'We ask for understanding that we cannot give running updates on his condition. He wore a helmet and was not alone,' Kehm said.
Schumacher's 14-year-old son Mick was skiing with his father when the accident happened, the resort said.

ESPN F1 reported that Schumacher's wife Corinna and children were at the hospital, along with Jean Todt, his former Ferrari team boss and now president of motorsport's governing body, the FIA.
Ross Brawn, who worked with Schumacher at Ferrari and Mercedes F1 teams, was reportedly also at the hospital, where a gathering of media and fans was swelling.
Eyewitnesses said they saw blood oozing from his helmet in the eight minutes between the fall and medics arriving in a helicopter to pick him up.
The accident happened while Schumacher was skiing off-piste.
Yesterday a spokesman for the resort said it proved 'you can't do whatever you want', and that skiers should stay on the pistes.

I know everyone on this site is pulling for Schumi. I just don't understand why he is taking such risks! Breaking his neck four years ago racing motorbikes, now this. I hope makes a full recovery and re-evaluates his approach.
C'mon Michael... You've accomplished too much to go out like this...
Disappointed Since 2010
My thoughts are with him and his family. Get well soon Michael!
Kimi is not getting hurt all the time, he must have better control!
