Michael Schumacher health news update 2016: Recovery continues to be slow

Fans of German racing driver Michael Schumacher have long been waiting for updates regarding his health since his ski accident back in 2013. But until now, there is still no news of the seven-time Formula One World Champion recovering completely.

According to a report, Schumacher is still recovering. Unfortunately, his progress is painstakingly slow. In fact, as revealed by Schumacher's manager, Sabine Kehm, the two-time Laureus World Sportsman of the Year awardee is becoming worse with each passing day.

The only good news that has reached fans so far is that Schumacher is reacting to what is happening around him. Ex-Ferrari chairwoman Luca Cordero di Montezelmo previously said that she is pleased to know that Schumacher is reacting despite the very difficult situation that he is in.

However, as detailed in another report, he is immobile and is restricted to a wheelchair. He is also said to have lost a lot of weight, including the time when he was still in coma wherein he lost a quarter of his bodyweight.

As of now, it is said that the only means of communication that the racing champion can do is through crying quietly whenever he hears the voices of his wife, Corrina Betsch, and children, Gina Marie and Mick, who are also going through a difficult time especially in the financial aspect.

Reports say that the Schumacher bunch are struggling with their finances due to the cost of medications and therapies that the racer needs on a daily basis. Some sources even say that the family is now selling the Formula One legend's treasured possessions such as his Mercedes E55 AMC car which is a 20-year old vintage car.

Reports also stated that the family sold their vacation house and family jet just to earn money for the needs of Schumacher. None of the reports are confirmed, though, since the family chose to keep things private.
