Before Robin Roberts arrived in hospital this morning for her scheduled bone marrow transplant, it seems she was given a larger than life send off from her Good Morning America 'family' last night.
Hours before she was scheduled to check-in to a New York City hospital, the 51-year-old anchor tweeted several fun-loving pictures with Good Morning America host Josh Elliott, ABC's senior executive producer Tom Cibrowski, and senior vice president of ABC News James Goldston.
She captioned one picture, writing: 'Shhhhhh...don't tell my doctors I'm up late w/ @GMA fam before I go to hospital in the AM.'

Then earlier this morning, Ms Roberts added via Twitter: 'If @JoshElliottABC looks a bit tired this morning...totally worth it to me..thanks for the send off!'

 

The award-winning broadcaster postponed her scheduled bone marrow transplant following the news of her mother's death last Thursday, but sent her a last moving message from hospital this morning.
'My last tweet for awhile. Heading to hospital...time to focus on healing. I take each & every one of you w/me in my heart. Light and love.'

'When I return to NYC and walk through those hospital doors next week momma will be right there with me.'
