Fears are growing that F1 legend, Michael Schumacher, could remain in a ‘permanent vegetative state’ even if he wakes up from the coma he is currently in.
This ‘Permanent vegetative state’ also known as Apallic syndrome means that a patient may be aware of his surroundings but will not be able to feed, speak or move himself.
Schumacher was involved in a bad skiing accident while in France over four weeks ago and is admitted at the Grenoble hospital, France.
The family of the former racer have thanked the fans who have been supporting throughout this difficult time.
'We all know: he is a fighter and will not give up!' said his family, adding: 'We are deeply moved that there is no let up in the good wishes for Michael from around the world.
