on Friday after more than two months away due to health issues. The 68-year-old weatherman and his wife, Deborah Roberts, sat down for a talk about his health struggles over the past few months, revealing that the situation was more dire than many realized.
Holding her husband's hand tightly, Roberts revealed,"It's not lost on us that this is a major, major thing for Al to be here. He is a living, breathing miracle. He really is.... Al was a very, very, very sick man and I think most people don't know that." She also shared that her husband underwent a"major, major surgery," telling viewers,"We were just on pins and needles every day."
But in reality, Roker's condition was alarming. He shared,"I had two complicating things. I had blood clots that they think came up after I had COVID in September and then I had this internal bleeding going on. I lost half my blood. They were trying to figure out where it was. And finally they went in, did this surgery. I had two bleeding ulcers. They had to resection the colon, take out my gal bladder.
