Outpouring of Support for Savannah Guthrie

It’s no surprise that Savannah’s post quickly garnered an outpouring of support from her fans and followers. People were moved by her courage and couldn’t help but rally behind her during this time. One commenter wrote, “Yikes! Praying you have a full recovery. Hope it’s not painful.” Another chimed in, “Feel better soon! We miss you.” And, of course, there was a touch of humor in the mix, with one fan joking, “Oh man, Charley is never going to live this one down.” It just goes to show how much Savannah means to her audience.

Revealing the Incident

Just a month prior to her surgery, Savannah had already hinted at the incident on air. She explained that during one of their playful moments, her son Charley threw a toy train that hit her eye, causing the injury. “Charley threw a toy train right at my eye and it tore my retina,” she revealed. She went on to describe the sharp edge of the toy and how it led to her injury. At the time, she mentioned that she had lost vision in her right eye about 24 hours after the accident. It was serious enough that her doctors feared a full detachment of her retina. Thankfully, they managed to intervene with laser procedures to avoid a more invasive surgery. But it was a tough situation, as Savannah described the experience of losing vision and the blood that clouded her sight. Yikes!

Family Support and Love

Savannah’s family has been a rock for her during this time. She shares two beautiful children, Charley, 2, and Vale, 5, with her husband, Michael Feldman. The couple tied the knot in 2014, but as Savannah shared earlier this year, they dated for a long time before that—ten years to be exact. It’s clear that Michael has been by her side every step of the way, proving to be the ultimate partner in both good times and tough ones. It’s this kind of love and support that helps us all get through life’s challenges.

And just like that, Savannah is on the mend, proving once again that she’s a true trooper. We’re so glad she’s doing better and can’t wait to see her back on our screens, shining as bright as ever!
