Robin Roberts made a triumphant return to “Good Morning America” on Wednesday, nearly six months after she left to undergo a bone marrow transplant.

It all kicked off with Roberts looking into the camera and saying, “Hi, it’s Robin. I’ve been waiting 174 days to do this: Good Morning America!”

The beloved TV anchor, with her hair still short from her treatment, was feted by her colleagues and celebrities, and received a special message from President Obama and the First Lady.

Roberts left the show in August, and underwent the transplant the next month due to MDS, a rare blood disorder.

Roberts will be back on the morning show part-time until she is able to fully resume her old schedule.

“I’m coming home,” said Roberts during a live appearance. “We’re talking now a matter of weeks, not months.”

Roberts clarified, “I should be back sometime in February. Now I have a date in mind that’s very personal and very important to me, but I will ultimately listen to what my doctors say.”

Some wonderful news to start the week!
