NSW: Lynette Waugh has further tests after brain surgery

SYDNEY, Aug 7 AAP - Former Australian cricket captain Steve Waugh says his wife is
making progress but remains in hospital for further tests following brain surgery.

Lynette Waugh suffered a cerebral haemorrhage and was operated on by Dr Charles Teo
at Sydney's Prince of Wales Hospital on Friday.

"The haemorrhage was very serious and the blood clot was removed to expedite her recovery,"

Steve Waugh said in a joint statement with Dr Teo.

"She remains in hospital and is currently undergoing further investigation to find
the cause of the haemorrhage. Her progress has been encouraging.

"Steve Waugh would like to acknowledge the enormous public support we have received
in relation to Lynette's illness. This is much appreciated by all of the Waugh family."

Mrs Waugh, 38, was taken to hospital last Friday after not feeling well and underwent
emergency surgery.
