"This is such a positive first step."
 
A woman who was bitten by a shark more than a week ago while swimming at a popular Sydney beach has woken briefly from an induced coma, her family has said.
 
Leah Stewart was attacked by a shark on Saturday 13 June at Coogee Beach, suffering multiple bites on her arms and legs and extreme blood loss.
 
The 34-year-old mother was taken to hospital in a critical condition and underwent several surgeries including having her arm amputated.
