Ballesteros recovery continues
12 April 2012
Seve Ballesteros could be moved out of intensive care as soon as next week, according to the hospital treating the five-time major winner.
Ballesteros, 51, was diagnosed with a brain tumour at La Paz hospital after losing consciousness at Madrid Airport early last month.
He underwent a lengthy operation on October 24 to reduce pressure on his brain caused by an edema and to remove remaining tumour tissues following two previous operations. On Friday the hospital released a statement saying: "The neurological evolution of the patient Mr Severiano Ballesteros remains favourable."
It continued: "He continues to receive rehabilitative treatment and it is likely that he could leave the Intensive Care Unit next week and be moved to another ward."
