Robin Roberts Hospitalized During Florida Vacation


After her triumphant return as co-host of "Good Morning America" a little more than two months ago, Robin Roberts was hospitalized during her Key West vacation last week.
Earlier this morning (April 18), the popular talk show host made sure to assure her devoted fans in a Facebook post that everything was fine after her short hospital stay.
"In the middle of my Key West vacation, I began to not feel well. Nothing serious, just under the weather. I contacted my doctors and flew back to NYC. Seems my young immune system needed a little boost to fight off 'opportunist infection," Robin explained.
"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," she added.
Miss Roberts announced back in June 2012 that she contracted the blood disease myelodysplastic syndrome and had received a bone marrow transplant in September 2012 causing her to take a six month medical leave from her duties on the morning talk show.

Robin Roberts Makes Triumphant Return to “Good Morning America”


It’s been a long time coming, and Robin Roberts couldn’t have been more joyful as she reclaimed her anchor chair at “Good Morning America” today (February 20).
The much-beloved presenter, who had to take a leave of absence to deal with a bone marrow disorder, kicked off her comeback with some beautiful words, “Hi, it’s Robin and I’ve been waiting 174 days to say this… Good morning America!”
Roberts continued, “I have to tell you, I keep pinching myself and I realize that this is real, this is actually happening and I don’t have my froggy slippers on, or do I? But faith, family, and friends have brought me to this moment, and I’m so full of gratitude. There’s so many people that I want to thank throughout the morning; my doctors and nurses and family and colleagues- the people who have sat in this chair. And those who have blazed a trail before me.”
“As my mother said, ‘We all have something.’ Everyone’s story has purpose and meaning and value, and I share this morning, this day of celebration, with everyone.”
