FROM STUDIO 1-A IN ROCKEFELLER PLAZA. >>> HI, EVERYBODY. GOOD MORNING. WELCOME TO “TODAY.” IT’S NICE TO HAVE YOU WITH US AND HODA, IT IS NICE TO HAVE YOU RIGHT BACK WHERE YOU BELONG. IT HAS BEEN A TOUGH COUPLE OF WEEKS, YOU HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH A HEALTH ISSUE WITH YOUR DAUGHTER. >> MY YOUNGEST HOPE WAS IN THE ICU FOR A FEW DAYS AND IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A LITTLE MORE THAN A WEEK. I’M SO GRATEFUL THEE IS HOME. SHE BACK HOME. I WAS WAITING FOR THAT DAY TO COME. AND WE ARE WATCHING HER CLOSELY. I’M

JUST SO HAPPY, AND YOU KNOW WHAT I REALIZED, TOO, SAVANNAH, IS LIKE WHEN YOUR CHILD IS ILL, THE AMOUNT OF GRATITUDE YOU CAN HAVE FOR PEOPLE WHO HELPED YOU OUT, SO I’M GRATEFUL FOR THE DOCTORS AT WEIL CORNELL WHO WERE AMAZING, AND THE NURSES AND I’M GRATEFUL TO MY FAMILY AND I’M GRATEFUL TO FRIENDS LIKE YOU WHO WERE THERE EVERY SINGLE DAY. SO I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT. I LOVE YOU. >> I LOVE YOU.
