Schumacher remains in a coma more than a week after
accident
Corinna Schumacher has pleaded with the media to leave
the Grenoble Hospital and to be left in peace as her husband continues to fight
for his life.
In a statement released on Tuesday morning through Sabine
Kehm, Schumacher's manager and spokesperson, Corinna asked: 'Please support us
in our common fight with Michael. It is important to me that you leave the
doctors and the hospital so that they can work in peace. I ask you to trust
their statements and leave the clinic.
'Please leave our family in peace.'
A week after his skiing accident, Schumacher remains in a
'critical but stable' condition, with a medical bulletin on Monday assuring
reporters, many of whom remain camped outside the Grenoble Hospital, that 'we
do not plan any press conferences, nor give out written press releases, anymore
for the time being'.
Yet, amid further speculation about the extent and rate
of Schumacher's recovery, Kehm released another update late on Monday night in
which she clarified that the 45-year-old is not yet out of danger.
While Schumacher's family had initially thanked the media
for their 'support' in the aftermath of the former Ferrari driver's skiing
accident, it was revealed last week that an unidentified man had attempted to
gain access to Schumacher's hospital room while disguised as a priest.
Since then, Kehm has been moved to publish a series of
denials and clarifications about Schumacher's condition in response to
inaccurate reporting and conjecture - culminating, it seems, in the patience of
the F1 legend's family finally snapping as they continue to maintain a bedside
vigil in Grenoble.
