Doctors placed Schumacher into a medically
induced coma after undergoing emergency brain surgery to remove blood
clots from his brain.
The seven-time world champion has remained sedated to reduce the swelling.
His
manager, Sabine Kehm, has now announced that doctors at Grenoble
University Hospital, will finally start to reduce his sedation to allow
him to begin the "waking up process".
Ms Kehm warned that the process would take a "long time".
Her statement also
included an appeal from the Schumacher family to give them some privacy
while also expressing "sincere appreciation for the world wide
sympathy".
Fans and former colleagues from around the world have shown huge support for the racing hero.
A statement on Ferrari's website released yesterday said that the team was "waiting" for his return.
It
read: "You thrilled us so often, bringing us great joy, but the
greatest one is yet to come: namely seeing you here in Maranello again,
to meet your second family, the Ferrari one.
"We are waiting for you."
