Schumacher Recovery Attempts Are On-Going

Nearly two months after his accident on the slopes above Meribel the medical attempts to gently wake him from the induced coma he was placed in immediately after arriving in hospital remain on-going according to the Formula 1 star's manager.
A German magazine speculated a few days ago that the attempts to wake Mr Schumacher from his coma, first reported to be under way on January 30th, had been abandoned. Refuting this, his manager said the important thing was not the speed of treatment but that it is carried out in a measured way.
In a separate development, French proscecutors have indicated that management at Meribel's lift company had conformed with French law in terms of piste safety markings and that the rocks Mr Schumacher's head impacted on were at least three metres off piste. Again there had been media speculation that the lift company's management could face several years in jail if legal piste marking requirements were not in place.
Schumacher's current condition is reported to be largely unchanged with close friends who have visited him saying he appears to be sleeping and indicating that there are possible positive signs that a recovery may still be possible and that hope still remains.
