American gymnastics icon Mary Lou Retton has returned home following a lengthy hospital stay because of pneumonia. The oldest of Retton’s four daughters posted Monday on Instagram that her mother is in “recovery mode.” Shayla Kelley Schrepfer said the 55-year-old Retton faces a “long road” but that she is taking “baby steps.” The update comes nearly two weeks after Retton’s family said the 1984 Olympic all-around champion was “fighting for her life” in intensive care.
