PEOPLE has confirmed that just one day after Al Roker was released from the hospital, he was taken back there by emergency medical services.

Page Six was the first to reveal that the weather anchor for the Today show, who had been healing from blood clots in his leg and lungs, was rushed back to the hospital via ambulance on Friday. He had been discharged earlier this week.

According to a source who spoke to PEOPLE, “Al was transported to the hospital after Thanksgiving.”

According to Page Six, “His health was concerning, but once back in the hospital, he improved.”

Al “had to be transported to the hospital in an ambulance, and [Roker’s wife Deborah Roberts] was locked out of her vehicle and unable to get inside it. There was a problem with the vehicle. She was unable to retrieve her possessions, including her phone, at any time “according to the source, PEOPLE was told.

Roker, who is 68 years old, was initially admitted to the hospital earlier this month. On November 18, he revealed on Instagram that he has been receiving medical treatment for blood clots.

During that period, he commented in the caption of a picture that he had posted of a bouquet of flowers, “So many of you have been lovingly inquiring where I’ve been.” “I was taken to the hospital the week before last with a blood clot in my leg that sent some clots into my lungs,” the patient explained.

“After some medical whack-a-mole, I am so fortunate to be getting excellent medical treatment and on the way to recovery,” he continued. “I am so blessed to be getting terrific medical care and on the way to recovery.” “I want to express my gratitude for everyone’s best wishes and prayers, and I also hope to see you very soon. Everyone, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.”

In an update that he provided to his fans the week before, Roker informed them that he would be out of the hospital in time for the vacation. As a result of the ongoing rehabilitation he is undergoing, he was unable to attend this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Show. This marks his first absence from the venerable parade in the past 27 years.

“Getting ready to leave the hospital is my equivalent of the Thanksgiving Day Parade,” she exclaimed as she prepared to depart the facility. Roker remarked as he made his way across the corridor. “It’s time to put an end to this taco stand. Woohoo!” Roker’s health will also prevent him from attending this year’s traditional Christmas Tree Lighting at Rockefeller Center, which will take place on November 30.
