The local Fox station in Philadelphia, had the story this morning. I was really glad to hear it, and shocked that Fox Philly carried it. They don't even give the results from Pocono, Dover or NJ Motorsports Park. All tracks that are within 2 hours of the city.
It's clearly good news, but it sounds like he still has a long road to recovery ahead of him.

Folks, I hate to say this, but MS hasn't been in a coma since April, when his media folks stated he was in a "minimally conscious state". So, that part of the announcement isn't, as I understand it, new news.
However, he apparently IS in a state that allows him to leave ICU (I'm assuming he's probably got home care similar to what you would get at a private room in a hospital, minus the nasty septic bacteria). So, I guess that's the good news I'd take out of this.
Have a good one,
Mike

Leaving the hospital "not in a coma" state is not encouraging unfortunately.
A bit more info here:
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-27868787
"F1 champion Michael Schumacher has left hospital in Grenoble and is no longer in a coma, his family says.
The 45-year-old has been transferred to Lausanne university hospital in Switzerland, officials there say."

Here is the best article on the subject that I have so far seen:

I personally doubt that he will ever step foot in a race car... as sad as that is to say.

That would be amazing in itself.

Safety Car
Walking will be a monumental challenge for him. There will be a LOT of rehab before then, but if anyone has the will and fight in them to overcome it, Michael is one of them.
Just hoping he hasn't lost short or long-term memories. To survive this and not recognize friends and some family members would be hard on everyone.
One thing is certain...he has enough money to afford the best of care, and that could make all the difference.

Bad writing aside, I hope the headline is true.
