Schumacher's family has requested media blackout ever since his tragic ski accident at the French Alps in 2013. This was to ensure the privacy of his health condition as well as that of the family. Even though his recovery has been uncertain, the German car racing legend has undergone intense treatment in state-of-the-art facility located in Schumacher's estate in Switzerland. He is under constant medical supervision by 15 medical experts, 24/7. As per previous reports, this team is headed by professor Jean-Francois Payen.

According to latest update, Michael Schumacher is not very happy with his present health condition. He is often seen depressed and sometimes even in tears. "Schumi cries," writer Giorgio Terruzi said. "And sometimes mysteriously. He cries when he hears his children, his wife's voice, his dogs. In the silence of that room, a tear runs down his thin face at a known sound. We have a man that we usually consider unbeatable... engaged in a struggle. Inside this we can find... There is life, enclosed in a drop; there is the strength of a man who is moved and that moves each of us. We have his tears, his senses exposed."

Michael has resolute support from his wife, Corrina Schumacher, his two kids - Gina and Mick, his friends, fans, relatives, colleagues and well-wishers. However, his physical limitation is weighing him down emotionally. In fact, there have been reports pointing out that Schumacher has very little awareness of his surrounding and he is unable to communicate or even walk properly without help. He is feeling hopeless due to his condition.

Due to injury to his head, there is also a possibility that he may not recover fully. So much so, that even the health experts cannot say exactly how much the legendary racer will recover. "It depends very much on the severity of the injury, how young or fit they are," neurosurgeon Tony Belli said about Michael Schumacher's recovery, as per Headlines & Global News.
