'I feel lucky to be alive’ - Madonna appreciates family and loved ones for being there for her during hospitalization

 

One month after Madonna was hospitalized in the ICU after suffering a bacterial infection, the queen of pop is happy to be alive and grateful for love from family.


“Love from family and friends is the best Medicine,” Madonna wrote in an Instagram post on Sunday, July 30 showcasing a series of photos with two of her six children.


She continued to write that as a mother, it’s easy to get “caught up in the needs of your children,” but that when she fell ill, “my children really showed up for me.”


“I saw a side to them I had never seen before. It made all the difference,” she added.


Madonna shares one daughter, Lourdes Leon, with Carlos Leon, and a son, Rocco Ritchie, with director Guy Ritchie. She is also mom to four adopted children – David Banda, Chifundo “Mercy” James and twins Stella and Estere.

 


In her post, Madonna also wrote about her gratitude for her friend and longtime manager, Guy Oseary, who gifted her a Polaroid of Keith Haring “wearing a jacket with Michael Jackson’s face painted on it,” that she said was snapped by Andy Warhol.


Madonna wrote that she cried when she received Oseary’s gift because “I realized how lucky I am to be alive. And how fortunate I am to have known these people and so many others who are also gone.”

 Oseary announced in June that Madonna was in the ICU after developing a “serious bacterial infection.”

 She was released from the hospital days later and continues to recover at home.
