Robin Roberts tweets pictures of all-nighter send off from Good Morning America 'family' as she arrives in hospital this morning

Before Robin Roberts arrived in hospital this morning for her scheduled bone marrow transplant, it seems she was given a larger than life send off from her Good Morning America 'family' last night.
Hours before she was scheduled to check-in to a New York City hospital, the 51-year-old anchor tweeted several fun-loving pictures with Good Morning America host Josh Elliott, ABC's senior executive producer Tom Cibrowski, and senior vice president of ABC News James Goldston.
She captioned one picture, writing: 'Shhhhhh...don't tell my doctors I'm up late w/ @GMA fam before I go to hospital in the AM.'
Farewell: Earlier this morning, Ms Roberts, 51, tweeted: 'If @JoshElliottABC looks a bit tired this morning...totally worth it to me..thanks for the send off!'

Then earlier this morning, Ms Roberts added via Twitter: 'If @JoshElliottABC looks a bit tired this morning...totally worth it to me..thanks for the send off!'
 
The award-winning broadcaster postponed her scheduled bone marrow transplant following the news of her mother's death last Thursday, but sent her a last moving message from hospital this morning.
'My last tweet for awhile. Heading to hospital...time to focus on healing. I take each & every one of you w/me in my heart. Light and love.'

Presenters such as Diane Sawyer, Oprah Winfrey, Barbra Walters and Katie Couric will fill in for Ms Roberts while she is away.
