Michael Schumacher Showing Improvement, Friends Hoping For Full Recovery
Michael Schumacher and his condition has been the subject of too many speculations after he suffered severe injuries due to a skiing accident. Some sector blame this on the lack of sufficient information coming from his family and friends, who have opted to keep mum about his health for privacy reasons.
Michael Schumacher is, however, showing very promising recovery signs according to Ross Brawn, his former technical head at Ferrari. Brawn said the racing champion's family decided to keep Schumacher's condition private a long time ago to avoid false speculations.
Despite this decision, there have been contradictory reports about Michael Schumacher's state of health ever since he sustained severe injuries in the head in December 2013, as per Telegraph. Most of the speculations about his health is wrong, but his family and friends are praying and hoping to see progress every day.
"The family have chosen to conduct Michael's convalescence in private and I must respect that," Brawn said. "There are encouraging signs and we are all praying every day that we see more of them. So it is difficult for me to say very much and respect the family's privacy," he added.
An information disclosed in September as part of a Germany court's proceedings revealed that Michael Schumacher is not yet able to walk or even stand without being aided. German magazine Bunte was sued by his family after it claimed that Michael Schumacher could walk again. Lawyer Felix Damm told the court that the Formula 1 champion still cannot walk.
Aside from this small revelation, no specific report on Michael Schumacher's condition has been officially issued, leaving his fans confused and frustrated, according to Express. Damm himself denied that Schumacher's condition is getting better. He slammed the German magazine for invading Schumacher's privacy.
Sabine Kehm, Michael Schumacher's manager, said it is important to keep the legend's privacy given the severity of his injuries. Such claims also gave false hopes to Schumacher's fans and other people involved in the issue.
