Henry returned to "Fox & Friends" on Friday and in an at times tearful interview thanked his colleagues and viewers for all the letters of support and well wishes.

He said his sister, Colleen, is "doing great" and that surgeons told him his donated liver "immediately started working" for her.

Fox News has described her condition as a "degenerative liver disease," according to CNN.

"It was really about Colleen. She's had more bumps than me. ... Receiving the donation, it takes more time, it's harder," Henry said.

He also said he had a great summer during his break with his wife and children.

Henry was set to return to his co-hosting duties on "Fox & Friends" this weekend.
