In a  Facebook post, Good Morning America's Robin Roberts said that she was admitted ​back in the hospital after falling ill on vacation.

She plays down the illness and said she will be taking the rest of this week off.​

She expects to be back on GMA next week.​

Here's what Roberts wrote on Facebook:  

My heart continues to go out to the remarkably strong people of Boston. We stand by you now and always.

It saddens me that I haven't been able to join my colleagues in covering this important story.

Last week, in the middle of my Key West vacation, I began not to feel well. Nothing serious, just under the weather. I contacted my doctors and flew back to NYC. They felt it best to admit me into the hospital for a few days. Seems my young immune system needed a little boost to fight off "opportunistic infections".

My doctors assured me that this was NOT because I was working or doing too much, too soon. It's extremely common, post bone marrow transplant, to have complications. I'm blessed that mine have not been severe.

I'm feeling MUCH better, and will relax at home for the rest of the week. I'll be back on GMA next week...as my sweet momma would say: "Good Lord willing, and the creek don't rise!"

Miss you and bless you..XO
