Michael Schumacher 'could be home by end of summer'
Michael Schumacher's progress at a rehab clinic in Lausanne is proving so successful he could be home before the end of summer, according to reports.
The Daily Mail reports that a Swiss newspaper claimed the Formula 1 star could be cared for at home.
SonntagsBlick reported: "There are signs that Michael will leave the clinic soon and be cared for at home."
Schumacher was placed in a medically-induced coma after he hit his head during a skiing accident in the French Alps on 29 December.
He woke up from the coma last month, and was transferred from a hospital in Grenoble to a rehab clinic in Lausanne.
Back in March, it was reported that Schumacher's wife Corinna is building a £10million medical suite in their home for when her husband leaves hospital.
The 45-year-old is reportedly using the family's £500 million fortune to build the suite at their £25 million home by Lake Geneva in Switzerland.
A friend of the family for 25 years told The Sun: "Miracles happen, of course, and as a wealthy man he has the best care money can buy.
"But all the money in the world cannot fix what has happened to him. The family are making arrangements for a future of permanent immobility."
However, according to Croatian media, the family have also approached Croatian doctors Darko Chudy and Vedran Deletis, who have developed a revolutionary microchip implanting technique, to see if they can help with his recovery.
It is believed the microchip could be able to help him walk and talk again.
The Express reports that the Lausanne clinic are hopeful Schumacher will be able to use an advanced electronic wheelchair that can be controlled by his mouth within a few weeks.
Meanwhile, the paper also reported that Corinna has publicly thanked his fans for their support at the German Grand Prix.
She said: "The German Grand Prix gives me the perfect opportunity to cordially thank you all for the good wishes and positive energies you keep sending to Michael.
"I have to say your sympathies blew us all away. It is good to know that together we made it through the hardest time.
"Now we are facing a phase which will presumably take a long time."
