Joan
Rivers' family are said to be considering bringing a lawsuit after she
suddenly stopped breathing during a 'botched' procedure as doctors fear a
stroke could leave her 'as a vegetable' or 'needing a wheelchair'.
The
process to bring the comedian out of a medically induced coma began on
Sunday at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City and will take until
Tuesday.
The
81-year-old went into a cardiac and respiratory arrest on Thursday
morning while undergoing a procedure on her vocal cords at a private
clinic on New York City's Upper East Side. Kelly Osbourne, Rivers' Fashion Police co-host, took to Twitter to
express her support for the 81-year-old comedian whom she called her
'grandma'
Daughter Melissa, 46, released a statement on Sunday thanking everyone for their
messages of support and gave a brief update on her mother's condition.
'My mother would be so touched by the tributes and prayers that we have received from around the world,' she said.
'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.'
Donald Trump, who met
Joan Rivers on Season 2 of Celebrity Apprentice, which the E! presenter
won in 2009, called the 81-year-old a dear friend and an amazing woman
Charlie Sheen joined the chorus of well-wishers, urging Rivers to come back to us
