Tennis superstar Serena Williams is resting comfortably at home following emergency treatment on Monday for an internal hemmorhage after a blood clot in her lungs was discovered last week. The 29-year-old, who says she hopes to return to the court this summer, released the following statement:
“Thank you everyone for all of your prayers, concerns, and support. This has been extremely hard, scary, and disappointing. I am doing better, I’m at home now and working with my doctors to keep everything under control. I know I will be ok, but am praying and hoping this will all be behind me soon. While I can’t make any promises now on my return, I hope to be back by early summer. That said, my main goal is to make sure I get there safely.”
In addition, her publicist said:
“Serena did indeed suffer from a pulmonary embolism last week, and the hematoma was another unexpected scare. Thankfully everything was caught in time. With continued doctor visits to monitor her situation, she is recuperating at home under strict medical supervision.”
