Update on jules.
Philippe Bianchi, father of Jules, confided to Nice-Matin on saturday's print to update the people who keep showing support for the former Marussia driver and his family during this difficult time. Being first cared for in Japan, Jules Bianchi was brought back to Nice, France, at the Saint Roch hospital. Phillipe Bianchi reveals today that he no longer is there, however Jules remains in Nice.
Jules' father re-affirms that his son is fighting, but that he is still in a coma: "From a medical point of view, he is stable. He's autonomous enough. No physical problems. All his organs are working properly, without assistance. But, for now, he remains unconscious, in a coma."
However, there are signs of improvement. In Japan, the young Frenchman's parents received very bad news, without hope. Since, things have changed, and in France doctors are more positive. But we have to be patient, and Philippe Bianchi explains that "neurologically, doctors explained to us that there is no particular intervention needed".
The family can only wait and support Jules in his fight. There are at times encouraging signs: "From time to time, at his bedside, we see that things are happening. At moments, he is more active, he moves more, his hands tightens around ours... But is it just reflexes or a genuine reaction? Hard to tell."
Philippe Bianchi doesn't forget all of Jules' friends, his colleagues, but also the supporters all around the world, who keep sending messages of support, and he wishes to thank them, adding that he will give news of Jules' health when something changes.
