Schumacher returns to Family Home to Continue Treatment
Formula One champion, Michael Schumacher has finally returned to his family home to continue treatment on the head injuries he suffered in a skiing accident over eight months ago.
The German race-car driver suffered severe brain damage after hitting his head on a rock while skiing in an exclusive resort in France. He was immediately taken to the Hospital where he was put in a medically induced coma before he underwent two operations to reduce swelling in his brain. He was later transferred to a hospital near his home.
Schumacher’s manager, Sabine Kehm has now confirmed that the seven-time Formula One world champion had returned home having made progress in the past week and months.
“Henceforth, Michael’s rehabilitation will take place at his home,” said Kehm. “Considering the severe injuries he suffered, progress has been made in the past weeks and months. There is still, however, a long and difficult road ahead.
“We would like to extend our gratitude to the entire team at the CHUV Lausanne for their thorough and competent work. We ask that the privacy of Michael’s family continue to be respected, and that speculations about his state of health are avoided.
45-year-old Schumacher had a sterling career in F1 with Ferrari for 15 years before his retirement in 2006. He came out of retirement in 2010 to join Mercedes but couldn’t repeat his domination with the german manufacturer. He finally retired at the end of the 2012 season.
