BALLESTEROS TO REMAIN IN INTENSIVE CARE

BALLESTEROS TO REMAIN IN INTENSIVE CARE


Seve 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 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.
