Heard someone say he skydives too.
He is only speaking in general terms since he isn't part of the medical team treating him. I hope he is right but I think it is touch and go from the statements coming from the medical team.
The operated again over night, scan this morning shows slight improvement
Doctors generally tend to give the worst case scenarios. Here's hoping it's the case here!
Some little improvement after the 2nd brain surgery.
Anything for a story, low life scum.

A dirty dirty dog. Should be named and shamed but the press won't do that to one of their own.
Used to hate him at Ferrari. Probably similar to Vettel now. But I wish him speedy and total recovery. Must be really hard for the family. Wishing them strength.
The former Formula One champion Mika Hakkinen has written a letter to Schumacher wishing his former rival a full recovery. The Finn, who once suffered a life-threatening head injury during a training session, advises Schumacher to take his time to recover. “Do me a favour: just this once don’t try to beat the clock. You don’t have to post your best time in this race. You have to take all the time you need,” he said, signing off: “Take it easy, Mika.”
Mika vs Schumacher was probably my favourite rivalry since I've been watching, quick on track and funny off it.
Over a week in an induced coma can't be a good sign 
People do come through after longer than that, and he must be exceptionally fit for a man of his age. The body can heal whilst you are in an induced coma. Fingers crossed for him.Over a week in an induced coma can't be a good sign
From Planet F1, thought it was worth sharing.
Eighteen days in a coma now and the German media are speculating that Schumacher might never wake up. Apparently it is usually the case that patients placed in artificial comas are brought out of it within 14 days, and when they are kept in a coma for much longer than this it usually indicates that something is very wrong.
Can't be good news
:'(
It will be OK. There's no reason to rush. Last year a friend of mine was kept as long, just to be brought back when safely possible. He's absolutely fine now and healthy.
It's so sad, but if there is a bit of light, my friend was in a coma for 3 weeks and made a full recovery
I assumed he was getting better as the media have been very quite about it. Hope he pulls through, such a great sportsman,

No news are bad news now
A bit of an extensive piece, so I'm not quoting, but it's from this morning. No news indeed start looking like bad news.

A french newspaper said they're gonna start bringing him out the coma, but its a newspaper, they may be speculating
Very sad.
They are now saying he is reacting 'positively' to be being awoken. I guess only time will tell how much of his brain capacity will be left when he comes to.
Sabine Kehm has dismissed such claims as "speculation" and said he remains in a "stable condition".
They've confirmed that they are beginning the process of slowly bringing him out of the induced coma.
Hopefully when they're just about to bring him out of the coma they have a big board with five red lights going out in a sequence.
Sadly it sounds like they are more likely to be using the chequered flag.
Responding to doctors instructions as they're reducing the medication. Blinked when asked too, which can only be positive
Excellent to hear.
Well at least it's not Vettel the doctors are having to give instructions too.
"Ok Seb if you can hear this try and blink."
"Well done Seb."
"Ok now, don't overtake Mark."
"feck."

According to today's Bild there have been reflex responses only since they started trying to bring him out of coma and they believe the doctors are now treating him for pneumonia as well. The press are all picking it up now, but I believe the stories are all based on the Bild story.
The hospital and the spokesman for the family say they have no plans to comment on the report.

They are saying he has pneumonia now. Not looking good.
They're
Did he blink when asked to, or when stimulated? I was under the impression that they're only getting reflexive responses, which is a very bad sign. Could be wrong though.
Pneumonia? Can't be a good sign.
