More good news for Joan Rivers fans: the feisty 81-year-old comedian was moved out of intensive care and into a private room at Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC.
“My mother has been moved out of intensive care and into a private room where she is being kept comfortable. Thank you for your continued support,” said Melissa Rivers said in a statement.
In an earlier statement released by her mother’s longtime publicist on Tuesday, Melissa said her mother was “Still on life support.” She most likely meant Rivers was on a ventilator to assist her breathing. Not all patients who are on ventilators are considered to be on life support.
Rivers suffered respiratory and cardiac arrest during a routine outpatient endoscopy procedure in NYC. She was placed in a medically induced coma at Mount Sinai Hospital to allow her brain to rest and to speed her recovery.
Over the weekend doctors weaned Rivers off the medications that put her into a coma. The purpose of weaning Rivers off the meds is to see if she responds to doctors voices or to tactile (touching) stimuli.
On Monday a source told E! News Rivers was “on the road to recovery.”

Good for Joan, sounds promising…. I honestly didn’t think she would make it
I was wrong
I hope she pulls thru.. I like that she says what other people won’t.. And she will make fun of herself before anyone else gets a chance to. I feel bad for Melissa.. Their relationship reminds me of mine and my mother and I would dayum near embalm myself if something happens to her!!
Get better Joan!!
Good for them.
Modern medicine. 
@Jenie,
Me either…..i just knew they had read her the last rites. The old hag still has some fight.
I like that she says what other people won’t..

i remember when my BIL dad was real sick to the point they had said he might not come back from the semi-coma…. well BIL
call my Mama and by noon she had got hold 
of the prayer warriors at the church and they down there interceding 
and beseeching 
like a mofo! that evening BIL call her byke and say his Dad sitting up eating and they gone release him home next day. 
coupla weeks later Dad finally goes on ‘home’
i told my mama that “Dad” had been tryna get outta there when he was back at the hospilla, but THEY with their busy-body praying selves had done prayed the man byke over to this side and got him kicked out the hospilla!

it was ‘funny’ in a way Luvie… i believe some of our elders really be wanting to get on and take their rest. Mister’s dad was like that a few years back. he kept having to go to the hospilla and the last couple times he called Mister up there and started telling him how he wanted some things handled. The last thing he told him to do, he went back and told him it was done and not long after he went on…
