There is plenty for Robin Roberts, 51, to be thankful about as she announced that her blood counts are great.
In a message posted on ABC blog, the Good Morning America anchor expressed her gratitude for all the support she has been receiving while giving update on her improving health.
Her message on the blog read:
Today is what I like to call “Thankful Thursday, aka Friday Eve.” I have been in the hospital 25 days now. My bone marrow transplant took place exactly two weeks ago. The only numbers that matter are my blood counts and they are… GREAT! My sister Sally-Ann’s stem cells apparently feel right at home in my body — an answer to so many prayers.
My doctors and rock star nurses are very pleased with my progress and I could not be more thankful for the excellent care I am receiving. I have had some extremely painful days and it’s still difficult for me to eat because of all the chemo. But something I read in Streams In The Desert stays with me: “I walked a mile with Pleasure, She chatted all the way; But left me none the wiser for all she had to say. I walked a mile with Sorrow, and ne’er a word said she; But, oh, the things I learned from her when sorrow walked with me.”
