Serena Williams Release Statement, Discusses Emergency Treatment

A representative for Serena Williams, Nicole Chabot, reported that “Monday Serena Williams underwent emergency treatment at Cedars [Medical Center] for a hematoma she suffered as a result of treatment for a more critical situation.” According to People magazine,  allegedly,  Serena had suffered a pulmonary embolism last week and was seeing doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Later, she returned from New York for doctor’s appointments relating to her foot issues.

Yesterday (Wednesday) Serena Williams released a statement about her condition:

“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.”
