Savannah Guthrie Can't Talk After Her Surgery - Here's How She's Communicating with Her Kids
"Savannah first told TODAY viewers she would be stepping away from the show to treat an issue with her voice on Dec. 19. "I have vocal nodules, and now I also have a polyp," she said. "It's not a big, big deal, but I am going to have a surgery real early in the new year and be off for a couple of weeks. So it's my last day for a little while.""
"There's one more way Savannah has been weighing in on all family discussions: by using two plastic game buzzers. The "no" buzzer is red with an "X" on it while the "yes" buzzer is green and has a circle on it. Savannah captioned the video with: "Hilarious and useful gift from a friend - yes and no buttons. One guess which is getting used more.""
"Just one day later, she shared in her Instagram stories that "the kids have fully taken over the white board, but all for love." She added images of a house (thoughtfully labeled "the house") with a boy in a baseball cap that was likely drawn by Charley. Vale, on the other hand, signed her creation: a vase of flowers with a "Get well soon!" message."
Savannah Guthrie underwent surgery to treat vocal nodules and a polyp and must remain totally silent for a few weeks as she recovers. She initially used a dry erase whiteboard to communicate simple messages with her children, including a photograph captioned "All good! Thanks for prayers and love!" Her children decorated the whiteboard with drawings labeled "the house" and a vase of flowers with a "Get well soon!" note. She also uses two plastic buzzers — a red "no" and a green "yes" — to participate in family discussions. She stepped away from TODAY for the procedure and expects to be off for a couple of weeks.
