Motor racing-Schumacher still in wake-up phase of recovery

Former Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher is still in the wake-up phase from an artificial coma at a Grenoble hospital, his agent said on Thursday. The 45-year-old German has undergone two operations since sustaining brain injuries after slamming his head on a rock while skiing off-piste in the French Alps resort of Meribel on Dec. 29 The seven-times world champion was in a stable but critical condition until late January and doctors started lowering his sedation level two weeks ago to wake him up progressively. The family is thankful for one's understanding that they would not wish to disclose medical details in order to protect Michael's privacy," Schumacher's agent Sabine Kehm said in a statement.
