Waugh's wife continues to recover from brain surgery

SYDNEY, Aug 10 (Reuters) Steve Waugh's wife Lynette continues to make a good recovery from surgery to remove a blood clot from her brain, the former Australia captain said today.

Lynette Waugh, 38, had the surgery on Friday after being rushed to a Sydney hospital.

''Lynette's recovery is very pleasing,'' Steve Waugh said in a joint statement with Charles Teo, the surgeon who carried out the operation.

''So far all investigations into the cause of the haemorrhage have been negative. There are still a few investigations to be carried out.

''Dr Teo suspects the most likely scenario was a spontaneous haemorrhage and one that, hopefully, won't reoccur in the future.

''The Waugh family would again like to acknowledge the incredible support, goodwill and positive encouragement from the public and the media. It is greatly appreciated,'' he added.
