Madonna's twin daughters Stella and Estere, 10, and son David Banda, 17, stay close to her NYC residence as she recovers from bacterial infection that sent her to the ICU
Madonna's twins Stella and Estere, as well as her son David Banda, were spotted spending time close to the singer's New York City residence on Saturday as she continues to recover from a shock bacterial infection that sent her to the ICU one week earlier.
The Vogue hitmaker, 64, notably was found unconscious in her apartment on Saturday, June 24, and she was promptly 'rushed to the hospital and intubated' due to the her being 'unresponsive' at the time.
Her 10-year-old twin daughters, whom Madonna adopted back in 2017, were seen strolling through the streets of the city while sporting hooded sweatshirts for the outing.
Her 17-year-old son, David Banda, whom she adopted with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie, was also dressed down as he stayed close to his mother in NYC, and was seen stepping into a parked vehicle on a residential street.
The Grammy winner has been sent love and well wishes since news of her health crisis came to light, and Kabbalah rabbis were also seen with prayer books near her residence on Saturday.

David and her other son, Rocco, 22, whom she shares with Guy Ritchie, were also seen spending time at Madonna's Upper East Side residence on Friday, as well as her long-time manager of 18 years, Guy Oseary.
The singer's eldest child, daughter Lourdes Leon, 26, also rushed to be with her mother, and reportedly stayed by her side during the star's hospitalization.
According to the New York Post, Madonna — who was due to kick off her 84-date Celebration tour in Vancouver, Canada, on July 15 — was 'discovered on Saturday', when she was 'taken to the ICU' and 'intubated overnight.'
At the time, a relative of the singer told DailyMail.com that her family had been 'preparing for the worst' due to the seriousness of the illness.
The popstar's health scare was shared with the world by Guy Oseary, who revealed on Instagram that Madonna has been forced to postpone her hotly-anticipated 40th anniversary tour as a result of her medical struggles.
Oseary insisted in his post that the singer and mother-of-six is 'expected to make a full recovery' and that her 'health is improving', but added that she is 'still under medical care.'
'On Saturday, June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several-day stay in the ICU,' he wrote on Wednesday afternoon. 'Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected.'
The music manager then revealed that the singer is being forced to postpone the start of her tour, for which she has been rehearsing for months - and which was due to begin in a matter of weeks - writing: 'At this time we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour.'

He did not reveal when Madonna might be well enough to commence the international tour, simply promising fans that he would 'share more details as soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows'.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, a source confirmed that the popstar is now 'out of the ICU and recovering.'
According to sources close to the singer, she has been working around the clock to ensure that her tour is nothing but perfect, with one revealing that she has been rehearsing six days a week, while another told DailyMail.com in April that she was 'driving everyone up the wall with her perfectionism.'
And on Saturday, it was revealed that Madonna will dramatically scale back her seven-month-long world tour after her health scare. The star was due to play multiple cities starting on July 15, but plans are being redrawn.
Madonna was due to begin a grueling concert schedule in Canada in two weeks. Now sources have told The Mail on Sunday that plans are being considered to cut the number of concerts from 84 if her 40th-anniversary Celebration tour goes ahead.
One insider said: 'In the cold light of day, considering what Madonna has just been through, and considering she is 64, was it really sensible to book so many tour dates in the first place?'
'This schedule would be grueling for even the youngest and fittest of artists. More than 70 gigs across the world is extreme. Madonna and her team are going to have to consider cutting back on the schedule.'
One tour manager added it would be a 'logistical nightmare' to re-plan the tour in terms of finding venues that are available.

Scaling back: On Saturday, it was revealed that Madonna will dramatically scale back her seven-month-long world tour after her health scare
Guy Oseary, Madonna's manager, said that the singer, who was discharged from hospital on Thursday after being given the all-clear, had been forced to 'pause all commitments', including the tour.
Sources close to the singer say she has been left exhausted by the infection and that her 12-hour days of tour rehearsals were said to have contributed to her illness.
It has been claimed that Madonna, who had reportedly been in the recording studio with Katy Perry hours before falling ill, was seen looking tired in the days before she was hospitalized.
On Thursday-the same day the singer was confirmed to have been discharged from the hospital to continue her recovery at her NYC home-sources gave an update to TMZ on her health and hinted that she might not be healthy in time to start her tour.
The sources told the tabloid that the Material Girl singer has been 'vomiting uncontrollably since being discharged' and that 'the infection is still wreaking havoc on her body.'
The outlet was also informed just two days ago that Madonna 'is still too sick to even get out of her bed.'
Sources also told TMZ that when she was rushed to the hospital to treat the bacterial infection, she was 'metaphorically kicking and screaming' against being taken there. Before her hospitalization, the star had reportedly been 'dealing with a fever' for a month and concealed it 'from everyone.'
Insiders expressed to the publication that Madonna was 'afraid' that being sick would 'jeopardize the tour' but not treating the infection made 'it worse.'

According to the Cleveland Clinic, a bacterial infection is an 'illness or condition caused by bacterial growth or poisons' and some common bacterial-related diseases 'include UTIs, food poisoning, STIs and some skin, sinus and ear infections,' but can be simply treated with antibiotics.
However, when left untreated, 'any bacterial infection that gets deep into your body, like in your blood, heart, lungs or brain, can be life-threatening.'
Just days before being found unconscious in her apartment, Madonna had uploaded an Instagram photo series that captured special moments while preparing for her 40th anniversary tour.
In the caption of the post, she had eerily typed out, 'The Calm Before The Storm……….'
