On January 6, the 68-year-old man made a triumphant return to the morning show after an absence of more than two months. During the appearance, he sat down with his wife as they revealed that he was “very, very, very sick” and that he was alive and a miracle to them.

At the red carpet premiere of the documentary “Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields,” the ABC News correspondent shared what she went through while caring for the Today weather forecaster, who suffered a lengthy hospital stay due to blood clots in her leg that eventually damaged her lungs.

In the interview E.T, humorously revealed that her husband “drives her crazy” now that she’s well and back at work. Despite a light-hearted joke about her 30-year-old husband, she offered an honest insight into the situation the challenges he faced.

She revealed that being a carer was “stressful, exhausting and scary” and that she never realized the difficulties of being a carer until she went through it herself. He hoped he would never have to do it again, adding:

“But it’s hard.” That’s tough. I think I’m still recovering. I’m still tired. I’m still mentally exhausted, but you know what, I’m grateful and I’m just trying to bask in the moment and be happy that he’s okay and we’re okay.”

The 62-year-old shared that her faith in God helped guide her, noting that she relied on her spirituality and received support from family, friends and work colleagues. This support reminded me that I am not alone and I am extremely grateful for it.

Her unwavering care and love played an important role in helping Roker overcome his health problems. According to a report by The Blast, the veteran weatherman stated that he owed his life to the loving care of his wife.

Speaking to Page Six, she expressed her gratitude for the love and support she received during her illness. He credited Roberts with playing a crucial role in saving his life, saying he “wouldn’t be alive without him”.

He pointed out that she kept him from realizing the seriousness of his condition, which helped him focus fully on his recovery. The journalist said: “I didn’t know then. Deborah was great at keeping it all away from me, so I thought I was doing it. OK, but it was great because I could focus on improving.”
