Alongside a selfie, the 64-year-old singer revealed that her first thoughts upon waking up in the hospital were for her children.
"I'm on the road to recovery and increidbly grateful for all the blessings in my life. My firts thought when I woke up in the hospital was my children," said the artist.
She further expressed her desire not to disappoint the loyal fans who had purchased tickets for her tour.
"My second thought was that I did not want to disappoint anyone who bought tickets for my tour. I also didn't want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show," Madonna added.
According to the singer's manager, Guy Oseary, on June 24, the iconic artist experienced a severe bacterial infection, resulting in a multi-day stay in the intensive care unit.
While her health is steadily improving, Madonna remains under medical supervision, and a full recovery is expected.
