Robin Roberts Released from Hospital, Goes Home to Continue Recovery

October 11, 2012 On the Mend

After spending a month in a NYC hospital receiving a life-saving bone marrow transplant, “Good Morning America” co-anchor Robin Roberts was sent home this week.

In her ABC blog, Roberts wrote, “After exactly one month in the hospital dreaming of this day, I am finally home. My sisters Sally-Ann and Dorothy were here to help me make the transition. I’ll be adding that to the long list of things for which I am grateful."

Roberts thanked her sister Sally-Ann, her bone marrow donor, "My doctors tell me her cells are making themselves right at home and with the grace of God, I pray that they will continue to do so."

Roberts thanked her fans for all their prayers and support and promises to be back at the “GMA” anchor desk soon. “Each day I get stronger and stronger.  I am fond of saying, ‘This Too Shall Pass.’  And even in some dark moments, of which there are still a few, I now see that light at the end of the tunnel.  This too really shall pass.”
