Ballesteros to remain in intensive care
31/10/2008 - 15:06:50Seve Ballesteros is to remain in intensive care as he continues his recovery from brain surgery in Madrid’s La Paz hospital.
Ballesteros underwent a lengthy procedure a week ago to alleviate pressure on the brain caused by an edema and to remove remaining tumour tissues.
A brief statement released by the hospital read: “The patient is stable and his neurological continues to progress favourably although he needs to remain in intensive care.”
Ballesteros, the 51-year-old five-time major winner, was diagnosed with a tumour earlier this month and before his latest surgery he had already undergone two operations – the second to reduce swelling on the brain.
