Madonna's devastated family were left 'preparing for the worst' when the superstar was rushed to intensive care on Saturday after contracting a 'serious bacterial infection'.
The 64-year-old icon is said to have been found 'unresponsive' on Saturday night before being admitted to hospital, where her family reportedly feared they could lose her.
According to reports, her loved ones spent days by her bedside, unsure if she was going to pull through. It is believed that eldest child Lourdes, 26, was a constant presence throughout her stay in the intensive care unit.
