TL;DR Summary

Leah Stewart, 35, a mom and teacher, was severely injured by a great white shark off Coogee Beach in Sydney, losing an arm. After a week on life support, she was extubated and briefly woke from a medically induced coma to tell her family, 'I love you,' before being sedated again. She will need multiple surgeries as she recovers in ICU, with doctors optimistic about progress. A GoFundMe has raised over AU$505,000 toward a AU$550,000 goal; Stewart is known for charitable swims, including breast cancer fundraising and the Coogee Island Challenge.
