Hoda Kotb has shared new terrifying details about her daughter Hope’s health crisis last year.
As per reports, Hoda’s 4-year-old daughter was in intensive care for several days in early 2023, before ultimately remaining in hospital for over a week. Hope’s family did not disclose the diagnosis due to the girl’s tender age, though Hoda did say that the condition required constant monitoring by medical professionals in the beginning.

Earlier this week the Today co-host reflected on last year’s scary ordeal, revealing that she and the rest of her family have been “trying to make everything normal” as they start a long-term plan to maintain Hope’s health.
“We had a scary stretch,” Kotb explained, as per the Huffington Post.
“Any parent who’s been through a scary thing with their child understands. It’s like you just can’t believe that your child’s sick. You can’t believe that there’s nothing you can do. You can’t believe that no matter what you do, you can’t will it away or protect her, or all the things that we’re supposed to be doing as parents. And it’s a position I’ve never found myself in.”
Back in February, 2023 Kotb took two weeks off of Today to help tend to her daughter. The journalist, also a mom to 7-year-old Haley, said she has taken steps to ensure her own concerns don’t overwhelm Hope.
