“Thank you for your continued love and support,” Melissa Rivers said in a statement on Sunday. “We are keeping our fingers crossed.”

Her mother arrived at Mount Sinai Hospital Thursday after an emergency call that she was in cardiac arrest at an Upper East Side clinic, Yorkville Endoscopy, sources said.

Doctors are intentionally keeping her sedated and under close supervision until they’re more comfortable with her condition, which remains “serious.”
