    Can anyone explain this situation please?

    When they say 'stable' and that he is in an 'induced' coma - does this mean they can bring him out of the coma whenever they want to (wake him up so to speak), and that they are just waiting for the right time (when they think things have calmed down/healed etc)?

    I am desperate for Michael to get through this, but my family keep telling me not to get my hopes too high. I admit I have no knowledge of these kind of injuries but I'm still expecting Michael to recover.

    I am no doctor and like all the other people i am only collecting the news bits. But i talked to some friends of mine who are actually working in the field and neuro profession and while the news says Michael is stable, that does not mean anything in terms of recovery. There seems to be no doubt that he suffered severe brain injuries which will take its toll on him even if he survives this. Of course anything is speculation at the moment and i wish him and any other person with these kind of injuries all the best and a good recovery, but one should not expect anybody to come out of anything like this 100% healthy, in fact normally far from that unfortunately....

    Stable means they think they can keep him alive. It really says nothing about his actual condition, it's more a treatment term, that they don't need to treat like they were to maintain the condition.

    Someone brain dead can be stable. Someone on breathing machines can be stable. Someone that will die if the machine keeping them alive is turned off, can be stable.

    Worked at a hospital for a couple of years.

    Okay, thank you for the info. It sounds like it could be a lot more in the balance than I thought. The doctors have used the word 'critical' a lot, which obviously doesn't sound good at all, but maybe when you keep hearing a word like that you start to block it out and focus on the better ones.

    I guess we just keep hoping for the best then and wait for the next update.

    I have attached some wallpapers I'm currently using, in case anyone would like to share them, I hope this is okay.

    Being dead is the ultimate stable level somebody could reach.

    The latest press conference was a bit misunderstood. As mentioned above by Tim, he was listed as 'stable' (treatment) but his condition is still listed as 'critical'. He's not getting worse but not getting better either. Although the fact that he is stable is more good than it is bad. It has now been 4 days and the longer he remains stable the better his chances are, although certainly not out of the woods by a long way.

    Another leading neurosurgeon has said that it may be at least two weeks before they know whether he will be able to survive.

    The whole thing feels very surreal, Schumacher had this presence of invincibility about him.

    I did running copy on my twitter feed of the second press conference -- go back to 31st December on my timeline:

    Start from "New update on MSC's condition from the hospital due within the hour" and work up.

    Note the two tyres not on the road! Incredible picture, incredible driver.


    Edit Also the visible toe in, and it appears that the front splitter is torn in the middle through the Bridgestone logo. How that win might have gone had it torn in half, the fractions of racing, winning and losing. And the history lesson in the sponsorship on there as well. Back when the Marlboro cowboy was still cool, Vodaphone when phones weighed a kilo, had pull up aerials if you were posh and hardly anybody had one, Olympus before the bosses committed financial hare-kare, and before Shell stood for melt the arctic and frack you all. All in that one picture.

    Such a great picture. I hope he's stable enough to get a glimpse of that! :)
