Former Olympic gymnast Mary Lou Retton has returned home from the hospital after a weekslong stay for a rare form of pneumonia, according to her daughter McKenna Lane Kelley’s Instagram update.
“Mom is HOME & in recovery mode,” Retton’s daughter wrote on social media. “We still have a long road of recovery ahead of us, but baby steps.”
Kelley’s most recent post didn’t specify when the athlete was released from the hospital, but her Oct. 14 update described “remarkable” progress with Retton remaining in the ICU.
