Olympic gymnastics legend Mary Lou Retton is out of the hospital following a weekslong serious health scare, according to her daughter.
The 55-year-old legend, who captured American hearts in 1984 when she was the first US gymnast to win the Olympic gymanastics all-around competition, is recovering at home, her daughter McKenna Kelley said Monday in an Instagram post.
Twelve days ago, Retton’s family announced she had a rare form of pneumonia that made her unable to breathe on her own and left her fighting for her life. Kelley started an online fundraiser on behalf of Retton’s four daughters to help support the medical costs, noting that Retton is uninsured.
