Formula One world champion, Michael Schumacher is no longer in a coma. After being involved in a skiing accident last December in the French Alps where he sustained severe head injuries, Schumacher was put on an artificially-induced coma while they waited and prayed for his brain to heal.
His wife, Corrina gave doctors her full support, and against all odds, believed that he would get better. Her care and prayers have paid off as he is said to be conscious and communicating now. Schumacher has now left the hospital where he'd been receiving treatment since the accident. In faith, his wife has already built a no-cost-is-too-much rehabilitation care unit at their home.
Michael Schumacher has a long road to full recovery, and I pray God will see them through, Amen.
Below is a beautiful picture tribute to his wife, whose awesome love for her husband is a big part of why he is still here with us today.
The stunning images were taken by world-renowned European photographer, Michel Comte, and include dozens of the motor racing driver with his wife Corinna, who has been at his side throughout the six-month ordeal.
The photos which range from 2007- 2011 show the couple at their ranch in Texas, relaxing in the sun on a yacht and playing football in a field.
Schumacher and Mr Comte struck up a long-standing friendship when the photographer shot the father-of two for the book Driving Force, a photographic autobiography of Schumacher in 2003.
Away from the track those who know Schumacher describe him as 'devoted to his family and is a sensitive man.'
A few days before the skiing accident in the French Alps, Schumacher, 45, said that he and his wife of 19 years had never had a serious fight in all their married life together.
'It's because we share the same values,' he commented. 'During all the time I was racing she was my guardian angel.'
His manager released a statement saying;
'Michael has left the CHU Grenoble to continue his long phase of rehabilitation. He is not in a coma anymore. His family would like to explicitly thank all his treating doctors, nurses and therapists in Grenoble as well as the first aiders at the place of the accident, who did an excellent job in those first months. The family also wishes to thank all the people who have sent Michael all the many good wishes. We are sure it helped him. For the future we ask for understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye."
