Seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher is in a critical
condition after undergoing a second brain operation following a skiing
accident that has stunned drivers, fans and athletes around the world.
The Grenoble University Hospital Center said the retired racing driver
arrived at the clinic in a coma on Sunday and underwent immediate
surgery for a serious head trauma.
He then underwent a second procedure in which surgeons reportedly
drilled holes in his skull to relieve pressure on his brain as they battled
overnight to save him.
A medical source confirmed today that the 44-year-old was in a 'critical
state' and that his health had 'not improved' following a brain haemorrhage.
Schumacher fell while skiing off-piste in Meribel in the French Alps on Sunday
morning and hit his head on a rock, according to a statement from the resort.
Resort managers said he had been wearing a helmet and was conscious when
rescuers first responded to the scene.
Schumacher, who turns 45 on Friday, was skiing with his 14-year-old son
Mick in Meribel, in the Trois Vallees ski area of the French Alps.

ReplyDeleteI woke up to the news that Professor Wole Soyinka lost his 48 year old daughter. Since I heard, I was like, what kind of Christmas is this for this family? I opened this blog now and I am seeing this. Lord, have mercy on this family. Immediately I saw this man and his son, I remembered Paul Walker and his daughter. I plead the blood of Jesus over him and God will send forth His angels to watch over him in Jesus' Name, amen. He will not die, but live to declare the Lord's glory.
