Jules Bianchi’s family have released the following
statement, regarding the French driver’s condition:
‘The parents of Jules Bianchi,
Philippe and Christine, would like to provide the following update regarding
Jules’ medical situation:
“As we reach the conclusion of a difficult year for our family,
we wanted to take this opportunity to provide a further update regarding Jules’
medical situation, per our pledge to communicate continued information, when
appropriate, to his many fans.
“It was a significant and very comforting step for us to be able
to bring Jules home to France last month, to continue his rehabilitation
surrounded by his family and friends. This is very important for Jules and also
for us.
“Since that time, Jules has received the very best treatment in
the Intensive Care Unit of Le Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice (CHU)
and now at the CHU’s rehabilitation centre for this kind of trauma.
“Jules’ neurological status remains unchanged; he is unconscious
but able to breathe unaided. Whilst there is no significant information to
report, we take a great deal of comfort from the fact that Jules continues to
fight, as we knew he would, and this has enabled the medical professionals
caring for him to commence the planned, but very painstaking, programme of
rehabilitation therapy.
“As we reflect on the events of the past few months, we would
like to acknowledge once again the overwhelming warmth and affection shown
towards our son. These continue to be challenging times for our family, but the
knowledge that he has touched the lives of so many people all around the world
has helped us through.
“We would also like to acknowledge the respect and support shown
by the media towards our family during this time, for which we are extremely
grateful.
“We will continue to provide information when it is possible to
do so and our sincere appreciation to everyone who continues to pray for
Jules.”
