From the Times:

Both operations involved drilling through Schumacher’s skull. In the first, undertaken immediately after Schumacher arrived at the hospital by helicopter, barely 90 minutes after the accident, the surgery involved the right side of his head; in the second, 24 hours later, the left side. The doctors said that while both operations had been successful in relieving pressure, they had left multiple hematomas, or blood clots, deeper inside his brain that were not accessible to further surgery.

Among the many neurosurgeons who have come forward to discuss the Schumacher case since his accident — experts who are not involved in his care — the common view has been that the injuries described by the Grenoble team leave open a wide range of possibilities. They have described these as running from a full recovery to various forms of long-term impairment, and, at the worst, to a situation in which Schumacher might lose his life without ever regaining consciousness.

No official word from the motorsports press, but speculation is rife amongst the others. 25 days in a medically-induced coma is a LONG time.

From the Associated Press, one hour ago:

Michael Schumacher's manager says doctors have started the process of bringing the former Formula One champion out of the coma he has been in since a skiing accident a month ago.

The German was skiing in the French Alpine resort of Meribel on Dec. 29 when he fell and hit the right side of his head on a rock.

Since then he has been in an induced comas in Grenoble University Hospital.

His manager Sabine Kehm says in a statement Thursday that ''Michael's sedation is being reduced in order to allow the start of the waking up process which may take long time.''
