“She is not able to breathe on her own. She’s been in the ICU for over a week now. Out of respect for her and her privacy, I will not disclose all details. However, I will disclose that she is not insured,” McKenna wrote of her mother’s condition.
She was released from the hospitalin late October and McKenna wrote on Instagram that she still had “a long road of recovery ahead of us.”

“I’m not great yet, I know it’s going to be a really long road — I don’t know how long, I may indefinitely need oxygen — but you have no idea how blessed and how grateful I was for this holiday season,” she told Kotb.

“I mean, when you face death in the eyes? I have so much to look forward to.”
She continued, “I’m a fighter and I’m not going to give up. I’m not going to give up. I have no idea what the future holds for me. I don’t know if I’m going to have lasting issues with my lungs. They don’t know. I wish I had answers. But I will never give up, it’s not in me.”
