( CNN ) -- Joan Rivers has been moved out of the intensive care unit and into a private hospital room , her daughter said Wednesday . Melissa Rivers , who confirmed Tuesday that her mother was on life support , did not indicate if the change was the result of an improved medical condition six days after she suffered respiratory and cardiac arrest during a medical procedure . `` My mother has been moved out of intensive care and into a private room where she is being kept comfortable , '' she said . `` Thank you for your continued support . '' It is not clear if Rivers is still on life support , which `` replaces or supports a failing bodily function , '' according to an explanation from the Cleveland Clinic . `` When patients have curable or treatable conditions , life support is used temporarily until the illness or disease can be stabilized and the body can resume normal functioning , '' the Cleveland Clinic website said . `` At times , the body never regains the ability to function without life support . '' Rivers has shared few details with the public about her mother 's condition since she was rushed to Manhattan 's Mount Sinai Hospital August 28 . A statement Sunday that the family was `` keeping our fingers crossed . '' Rivers , 81 , stopped breathing during throat surgery at a Manhattan medical clinic last week , according to the New York Fire Department . She apparently suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest during a procedure . She was listed in critical condition in New York 's Mount Sinai Hospital , where paramedics took her by ambulance . Rivers was undergoing an apparently minor elective procedure at the clinic , which is about a mile away from the hospital where she was taken .
