Mary Lou Retton is recovering from her bout of pneumonia in the comfort of her own home, and McKenna Kelley announced as much on October 23. “My mom is HOME & in recovery mode,” Kelley wrote in an Instagram statement. “We still have a long road of recovery ahead of us, but baby steps.” Kelley also expressed gratitude towards her mother’s supporters, then ended her statement with another round of thanks. “Thank you Jesus, thank you doctors & nurses, thank you to this loving community,” she added.
