Michael Schumacher out of Coma Is Good News We’d Began to Fear Never Hearing

The news that Michael Schumacher, the seven-time Formula One World Champion, has not only woken from an induced coma but left Grenoble hospital, has been universally welcomed.

It had been almost six months since Schumacher was admitted to the hospital having suffered severe head injuries whilst skiing with his family in the French Alps.

After a series of televised press conferences in the days following Schumacher's arrival at the Grenoble facility on December 29 last year, updates released by Sabine Kehm, the 45-year-old's manager, had become few and far between.

And the natural, human response to the long, eerie silences between each statement was to assume that, at best, Schumacher's condition had shown only minor or temporary improvements or, at worst, had deteriorated.

Kehm's latest statement, however—the first official update on Schumacher's condition since the beginning of April when the German, as reported by Daniel Johnson of The Telegraph, was experiencing "moments of consciousness and awakening"—has proven that no news doesn't necessarily mean bad news.

The update from Kehm, as quoted by Jonathan Noble of Autosport, read:

Michael has left the CHU Grenoble to continue his long phase of rehabilitation. He is not in a coma anymore.

His family would like to explicitly thank all his treating doctors, nurses and therapists in Grenoble as well as the first aiders at the place of the accident, who did an excellent job in those first months.

The family also wishes to thank all the people who have sent Michael all the many good wishes to Michael. We are sure it helped him.

For the future we ask for understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye.

This latest piece of concrete news is undoubtedly the most positive since Schumacher suffered his skiing accident and arguably the most timely.
