‘GMA’ co-host Robin Roberts suffered a medical setback while on vacation in Florida and landed back in the hospital.
The television journalist posted on Facebook, “Last week, in the middle of my Key West vacation, I began not to feel well. Nothing serious, just under the weather. I contacted my doctors and flew back to NYC. They felt it best to admit me into the hospital for a few days.”
She continued, “Seems my young immune system needed a little boost to fight off ‘opportunistic infections.’ My doctors assured me that this was NOT because I was working or doing too much, too soon. It’s extremely common, post bone marrow transplant, to have complications. I’m blessed that mine have not been severe.”
The good news is that she is feeling “MUCH better” and will relax at home for the rest of the week before re-joining her partner George Stephanopoulos on ‘GMA.’
She joked, “As my sweet momma would say: ‘Good Lording willing, and the creek don’t rise!'”
Roberts expressed regret that she has not been able to help cover the “important story” of the Boston Marathon bombings. The best she has been able to do is chime in on Twitter to support her colleagues as they report the latest facts related to the victims and cover the FBI investigation.
