Shark attack survivor wakes from 10-day coma and shares first words with family at her hospital bedside

After spending 10 days in an induced coma following a shark attack on a Sydney, Australia beach, a woman uttered her first three words this week.

Leah Stewart awoke and told her family, "I love you" on Tuesday while recuperating at a hospital, according to her brother, who wrote the update on a fundraising page.

"After a week of life-support and repeat[ed] surgeries, doctors were able to extubate Leah and reduce her level of sedation to bring her out of the induced coma for a short period of time," Stewart said.
