According to information, the 81-year-old comedian and Fashion Police host was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital and put into an induced coma after she stopped breathing during a throat procedure on Thursday, Aug. 28.
Her daughter Melissa Rivers released a statement on Sunday, Aug. 31, saying, "We are keeping our fingers crossed."
"The waking-up process has begun and will take until Tuesday,"
"There is real concern that the part of the brain that controls motor skills may have been compromised, leaving her as either a vegetable or in a wheelchair."
A source tells US WEEKLY “She's a strong woman, people aren't giving up hope, but it's very serious right now,” the insider adds.
It was gathered that after rushing to her mom’s side, Melissa said in a statement on Friday, Aug. 29, "My mother would be so touched by the tributes and prayers that we have received from around the world. Her condition remains serious but she is receiving the best treatment and care possible. We ask that you continue to keep her in your thoughts as we pray for her recovery."
