"She is making progress but is experiencing serious complications as a direct result of Graves’ Disease and her thyroid condition. It has been determined that more time is needed before she is able to return to her live hosting duties," they added.

The producers ended, "Wendy is a valued and stalwart member of the Debmar-Mercury family and has been so for 12 years. We want her health to be her top priority. As soon as she's ready, she will be back in her treasured purple chair." That part is interesting given the rumors swirling Nick Cannon is set to take over Wendy's time slot amid her ongoing medical issues.
