Overview
- The 99-year-old television host was admitted to the Mater Dei on September 7 for a respiratory bronchial illness and left the hospital Sunday to recuperate at her Avenida del Libertador residence under medical follow-up.
- Hospital reports say she improved while hospitalized, received antibiotics and kinesitherapy, stayed in a regular room, and had visits from family and friends during her weeklong stay.
- A chest CT performed during the admission noted renewed signs of chronic airway inflammation, a hiatal hernia with ventilatory impact, and a 14 mm pulmonary nodule described as stable and compatible with a hamartoma compared with an April study.
- The family published an official message thanking Mater Dei staff and clinicians by name and asked for privacy as Legrand rests; her return to television has no set date and will depend on her recovery.
- Her absence has been covered by a rotating production team with Juana Viale filling in on La Noche de Mirtha and relatives saying the priority is rest and monitored recovery before any comeback.
