In addition to Shayla, Skyla and Emma, 21, Retton is also mom to daughter McKenna, 27, whom she shares with ex-husband Shannon Kelley. McKenna is set to get married this fall.
The Olympic gymnast spent several weeks “fighting for her life” in the ICU at a Texas hospital in October but was able to spend Christmas with her kids, sharing one sweet photo on Instagram.
Retton documented the holiday with a photo of her mini-me daughters. “Merry Christmas 🎄🎁,” the gymnast captioned the post, a mirror selfie of the four daughters sporting matching Christmas-light headbands.
The former professional athlete’s daughter McKenna was the first to break the news that her mother was in a Houston-area hospital in early October.
“My amazing mom, Mary Lou, has a very rare form of pneumonia and is fighting for her life,” she wrote in a message on a Spotfund fundraising page for Retton.
At the time, Retton’s eldest daughter, Shayla voiced that her family’s No. 1 concern was “the well-being of our mom” in a statement to PEOPLE.
When Retton was released from the hospital in late October, Shayla shared her gratitude in a statement on social media.
“Mom is HOME & in recovery mode,” Kelley wrote on Instagram. “We still have a long road of recovery ahead of us, but baby steps.”
“We are overwhelmed with the love and support from everyone,” she continued. “Grateful doesn’t scrape the surface of the posture of our hearts.”
