Juan Manuel Correa is still in an Intensive Care Unit at a hospital in London and is in a state of induced coma with paralysis in order for his lungs to get as much rest as possible. 

"Our son, Juan Manuel, remains in the Intensive Care Unit at a hospital in London, England with my wife and I at his side," Juan Carlos and Maria Correa said to racetechdevelopmentgroup. "We have good days and bad days as well as long nights and short nights but with the support of the motorsports community, our friends, family, country and fans, we continue to pray for Juan Manuel.

"Juan Manuel remains in a state of induced coma with paralysis in order for his lungs to get as much rest as possible. Continuing to be assisted by an ECMO machine many of the key vital indicators have improved slightly while others have deteriorated very little.

"We have been reminded by the doctors that as long as Juan Manuel continues in an upward trend of improvement, even if very little, it is all that we can ask for at the moment. Infections are under control and respiratory indicators remain stable and all vital signs continue to remain consistent and stable." 

Everyone is hoping for a speedy recovery and that Correa wakes up soon.
