Michael Schumacher Health News & Update 2016: F1 Legend's Condition Getting Progressively Worse? [VIDEO]

By

F1 legend Michael Schumacher suffered from a serious brain injury after a ski accident in the French Alps more than two years ago. Health updates about the racing champ are far and few in between; does this mean that his condition is getting worse?

Michael Schumacher's Current Health Update

Michael Schumacher is reportedly not doing well, according to Sportsrageous. The F1 legend is reportedly not progressing as his doctors hoped. The outlet wrote that an unnamed source claimed that Schumacher may need a "miracle" in order to recover. However, this contradicts what Schumacher's manager, Sabine Kehm said about the F1 racer's health progress. Kehm said in an interview that Schumacher's health is improving but it will take him longer to heal due to the nature of his injuries, TVNZ reported.

Schumacher is reportedly conscious but unable to move or speak, Crossmap noted. Furthermore, an experts told the outlet that Schumacher may never be back to his old self again. Brain injuries are unpredictable and if the racer did survive, his quality of life might be affected. He is being cared for by 15 medical staff round the clock at his Swiss mansion. The total cost of caring for Schumacher allegedly amounts to $154,000 per week.


Michael Schumacher Intended To "Disappear" Before the Accident?

Kehm revealed that Schumacher intended to disappear from the public's eye prior to the ski accident in the Alps, Latin Post wrote. She said in a media event that Schumacher allegedly told her that he had planned to lie low in 2013. This apparently prompted Schumacher's family and Kehm to honor his wishes by keeping the details on the German racing driver's condition tight and scarce.
