Re: Melissa Rivers announced . . .

Posted one hour ago on tmz:

"Joan Rivers has been moved out of intensive care -- but that does not necessarily mean her health has improved greatly.

Melissa Rivers just released a very guarded update about her mother, saying ... "My mother has been moved out of intensive care and into a private room where she is being kept comfortable."

It's not a great sign that she's been moved to a private room from intensive care -- where she would be more closely monitored by doctors and nurses.

As TMZ first reported ... Joan has been on life support since being rushed to Mount Sinai hospital in NYC last Thursday.

We don't know if she's still on life support."

I hope she pulls through but it isn't looking good right now.

Re: Melissa Rivers announced . . .

I too was listening to FOX, and they came on and said basically that Joan was moved out of ICU.....did not say that she has been taken off of life support, or if that she was brought out of the coma...... and that Melissa thanked everyone for their thoughts and prayers.

Now, I have not heard if she is breathing on her own.

Melissa just posted on FB under Joans name that Joan has been moved out of ICU and into a private room and is resting comfortably. No other info was given. (this according to a friend of mine who has Joan on her facebook page).

That's great news!!! Thanks for posting.

""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."" -

More than likely it was done for privacy.

true - but facts have never stopped the people here from jumping to conclusions before and it will not now either.

It is being described as a ""cryptic"" comment so those of us with medical experience are a bit wary of what it might mean. I sure hope I'm wrong.

I would agree it is likely to be a privacy issue as opposed to an improving medical condition.

The fact that nothing has been said about her medical status is telling.

Re: Melissa Rivers announced . . .

They moved my dad out of ICU after he was removed from life support. He was kept comfortable by Hospice until his body shut down a week later.

This is just my experience.
