"To the amazing surgeons, medical team, and staff at the Abel Gonzalez Clinic in the Dominican Republic, there are no words to express our gratitude for the amazing care you provided," she said. "Without you, our story could have had a tragic ending. You will forever be our guardian angels."
She went on to say that the baseball icon is still in intensive care, that he continues to make progress in his recovery from surgery, and that additional updates on his health "will be provided as necessary."
