'Fashion Police' taping canceled.
Doctors are expected to assess the extent of damage to Joan Rivers’
brain Tuesday after bringing her out of a medically induced coma.
The 81-year-old legendary comedienne remained on a life-support machine
and in serious condition Monday at Mount Sinai Hospital amid an outpouring of
support and sympathy.
“Sending love, love and more love to Joan,” actress Jane Lynch tweeted
Monday.
Rivers’ only child, Melissa Rivers, 46, has asked friends and fans of
her mom to pray for a miracle.
Taping for Joan Rivers’ E! network show “Fashion Police” — scheduled to
take place in New York this week in conjunction with Fashion Week — has been
canceled, a source told the Daily News on Monday.
Doctors began bringing Rivers out of a medically induced coma on Sunday
and expect to be able to gauge her brain function Tuesday, a source close to
the family told The News.
Melissa Rivers and close friends of her mother continue to keep a vigil
at her bedside, hoping for the best.
“We are keeping our fingers crossed,” Melissa Rivers said Sunday.
Joan Rivers was rushed to the Upper East Side hospital on Thursday
morning after going into cardiac and respiratory arrest during an outpatient
procedure on her vocal cords at the private Yorkville Endoscopy clinic.
The source said Rivers’ daughter and close friends fear the
Emmy-winning funny lady’s motor skills have been severely compromised by the
medical emergency, and that she will be left in a vegetative state “or in a
wheelchair.”
Rivers’ family is considering suing
the clinic for medical malpractice.
