Kotb’s time away with her daughters comes after the Emmy-winning journalistopened up about Hope’s health scare.
“I feel like, life is one way on a Monday — and we all have our Mondays and we complain about them. We’re like, ‘Oh, what a crummy Monday,’ and then Tuesday rolls around and something really hits hard, and you realize that Monday was actually pretty awesome,” Kotb said of the experience.
“So for us, it was little Hope had to go to the hospital, and she was in the ICU for a few days and then the hospital for another week and it was really scary,” the mom of two continued. “And she’svibrant and brilliant.”
Continuing that she’s “over the moon” to have her little one home, Kotb expressed her gratitude for “how amazing people are.”

“We fall short,” Kotb said. “I was even thinking this too. You know, Hope hasn’t been feeling great, and all the attention’s on Hope and Haley wonders too. Like, ‘I’m here, see me. I need something, too. Carry me. Do what you’re doing for Hope.’ "
“It’s weird, but I feel like I got most of my resilience in life because of that. You didn’t expect to always be seen and heard,” said Kotb.
