It's a great comfort not to feel pressured and a BLESSING to know I have a job waiting for me. Unfortunately not everyone in my situation can say that. Let's keep them in our thoughts and prayers."

Her message states that details of her return to the show will be revealed on the air in the coming days. "I'm so excited! Thank you for your patience and continued prayers," she wrote.
