Madonna credits her kids for helping her heal

Reflecting on the hospitalization that forced the postponement of her Celebration tour, Madonna says that she’s lucky to be alive and revealed that her children helped her pull through.

The Queen of Pop shared her thoughts Sunday, a month after being hospitalized for “a serious bacterial infection” that landed her in intensive care.

“Love from family and friends is the best Medicine. One month out of the hospital and I can reflect,” the 64-year-old wrote on Instagram, showcasing photos with her second son, David Banda, and eldest daughter, Lourdes.

“As a Mother you can really get caught up In the needs Of your children and the seemingly endless giving……….. But when the chips were down 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. “So did the love and support from my friends.”

The singer has six children: Lourdes, whose father is personal trainer and actor Carlos Leon, and son Rocco, whom she shares with ex-husband Guy Ritchie; and four adopted children, David, daughter Mercy James and twins Stelle and Estere.

The Grammy Award winner also spotlighted a framed Polaroid picture given to her by longtime manager, Guy Oseary. The Polaroid was taken by Andy Warhol and featured late artist Keith Haring wearing a jacket bearing Michael Jackson’s face. The Material Girl said it represents “A perfect triangle of Brilliance” and artists who “touched so many lives including my own.”
