The family of Sydney mother Leah Stewart, who was mauled by a shark last weekend, says she has undergone “multiple surgeries”.
Ms Stewart was swimming at Coogee Beach when she was bitten while swimming between the flags just before 11am on Saturday.
The 35-year-old was taken to St Vincent’s Hospital in critical condition.
Her family has released a statement saying she sustained “life-threatening” injuries.
“She remains in a critical condition and has undergone multiple surgeries in the days after the attack,” the family said in a statement.
“She will need extensive ongoing care, support and rehabilitation.
“As a family we are shocked and devastated that this could happen to our beloved partner, daughter, and mother who is so full of life and energy.”
