Comedienne Joan Rivers remains in the hospital on life support following a throat procedure gone awry, TMZ reports, and her daugter Melissa Rivers issued a statement Sunday that the family is “keeping our fingers crossed.”
“Thank you for the continued love and support,” the statement read.
Rivers quit breathing and went into cardiac arrest during an endoscopic throat procedure at a clinic Thursday, and was rushed to Mount Sinai hospital in New York. The 81-year-old E! News talk show host was then placed in a medically-induced coma. (RELATED: Joan Rivers Quits Breathing)
