Fans all over the world are praying for and giving well wishes to Oprah Winfrey, 70, after she was hospitalized with a severe stomach infection that made her lose a lot of water. The media mogul got sick out of the blue and had to cancel several appearances. One of these was a much-anticipated appearance on CBS Mornings to talk about her latest book club pick.
Gayle King, who is close to Oprah and talks to her often, stepped in to give a report on her health. King said that Oprah’s doctor suggested she get an IV to help her recover because she was sick and had trouble drinking. “She’s much better now, but she wasn’t feeling well over the weekend,” King said on CBS Morning (CBS).
Oprah’s fans were reassured by King that she is likely to fully heal. “She’s getting stronger, resting, and doing all the right things to get back to full health,” he said. In an Instagram video chat with King, Oprah herself showed up, clearly tired but thankful for the medical care.
As seen in the film, Oprah thanked everyone for their support. “I can feel your prayers and positive energy, and it means so much to me,” she stated. Celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres, Ava DuVernay, and Reese Witherspoon joined the chorus of well wishes on Twitter with the phrase #PrayForOprah.
Fans talked about how Oprah had inspired them and praised her commitment to health and fitness. This year for her 70th birthday, Oprah showed a video of herself running on the beach and talking about how health is “the greatest gift.”
People expect Oprah’s reputation of strength and toughness to help her get through this tough time. Gayle King made a joke that Oprah will probably come back “stronger than ever,” which is how fans all over the world feel.
While Oprah rests and heals, her fans can’t wait for her to come back to the public eye. With the grace and determination that are Oprah’s trademarks, she is sure to get through this health setback and keep inspiring millions of people.
She has always been dedicated to self-care, health, and kindness, which has made her a beloved icon.
