Mary Lou Retton Out Of ICU, Recovering At Home <\/h4>\n

“I’m beyond blessed to have the opportunity to make this statement,” the 55-year-old said. “I am overwhelmed with all the love and support from the world as I fight. I am forever grateful to you all!”<\/p>\n

“I’m with family continuing to slowly recover and staying very positive as I know this recovery is a long and slow process,” she added. “I appreciate everyone’s respect of my privacy at this time.”<\/p>\n

Retton was diagnosed with a rare form of pneumonia at the beginning of October … and ended up in the ICU over it all.<\/p>\n

During her multiple-day stay at the hospital, her family revealed she suffered a “scary setback” … and at times, things seemed dire. Thankfully, however, Retton was able to fight through it all … and returned home to recover last week.<\/p>\n

In her statement Monday, she promised to reveal more about her fight at a later time.<\/p>\n

“I love you all,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

A fundraiser to help with her medical bills, meanwhile, has received $459,324 from over 8,000 donors.<\/p>\n
