I hope he recovers though the chances are slim that he'll ever be the same again.

Strange how much this affects me... I've not even been much of a Schumi fan for the last couple of years but I was in the 90ies in my early to mid teenage years.
Maybe it's because I can relate to what the family is going through as my father was also comatose after a stroke and all we could do was to wait for what seemed to be an eternity (6 or 7 days) until we finally had certainty that he wouldn't wake up again. We didn't have a happy end back then so let's hope that this case turns out better.
