One month after Madonna was hospitalized in the ICU after suffering a bacterial infection, the queen of pop is reflecting on how her loved ones are helping her heal.

Love from family and friends is the best Medicine, Madonna wrote in an Instagram post on Sunday, showcasing a series of photos with two of her six children.

She continued to write that as a mother, its easy to get caught up in the needs of your children, but that when she fell ill, 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.

Madonna shares one daughter, Lourdes Leon, with Carlos Leon, and a son, Rocco Ritchie, with director Guy Ritchie. She is also mom to four adopted children “ David Banda, Chifundo Mercy James and twins Stella and Estere.

In her post, Madonna also wrote about her gratitude for her friend and longtime manager, Guy Oseary, who gifted her a Polaroid of Keith Haring wearing a jacket with Michael Jacksons face painted on it, that she said was snapped by Andy Warhol.

Madonna wrote that she sobbed when she received Osearys gift because I realized how lucky I am to be alive. And how fortunate I am to have known these people and so many others who are also gone.

Oseary announced in June that Madonna was in the ICU after developing a serious bacterial infection. CNN later reported that the Vogue singer was released from the hospital days later, recovering at home.

Earlier this month, the Grammy winner announced she was rescheduling the start of her international Celebration tour to October.

Thank you to all my angels who protected me and let me Stay to finish doing my work, she said at the end of her post on Sunday. (CNN)
