Serena Williams Recovering At Home

In a recent health scare, Serena Williams was rushed to a hospital and treated for pulmonary embolism (blood in the lungs) early Monday morning. However, on a positive note the tennis pro wants us all to know she’s doing better.

“Thank you everyone for all of your prayers, concerns, and support,” the star, 29, tells PEOPLE in a statement. “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 okay, but am praying and hoping this will all be behind me soon,” she said. “While I can’t make any promises now on my return [to tennis], I hope to be back by early summer. That said, my main goal is to make sure I get there safely.”

A Williams rep added, “Thankfully everything was caught in time. With continued doctor visits to monitor her situation, she is recuperating at home under strict medical supervision.”
