MADRID, Spain -- (1978 GGO Champion) "Seve Ballestero has spoken to his family as he makes progress in his recovery from a third operation on a brain tumor.
"Seve Ballesteros continues to evolve favorably. He is conscious, is breathing spontaneously and can talk with his family," said a statement from Madrid's La Paz hospital on Monday. "He has begun to receive rehabilitation treatment in the intensive care unit."
The 51-year-old Spaniard underwent his third operation on a brain tumor just over a week ago.
His family also posted a statement on the golfer's official Web site www.seveballesteros.com on Monday, thanking everyone for their messages of support.
"Seve is putting as much positive strength in this battle as he is capable of," said the family. "With the help of God, the neurosurgeons and their teams and those who are keeping watch over his state of health at the intensive care unit, we trust with unquestioning faith Seve will come out successfully from this hardship.
"We would very much like Seve himself to produce the next press release when his health allows it. Meanwhile, and just as has been happening lately, it will be the hospital who will keep you updated regularly on his progress," the family said.
Ballesteros was taken to hospital at the beginning of October after suffering from dizziness and briefly losing consciousness."
