Her son and Westmeath Councillor Aengus shared an update on the former TD's health.
A former Longford-Westmeath TD is on the road to recovery after contracting sepsis.
Athlone's Mary O Rourke spent three months in hospital after becoming very ill last December.
The 85 year old, who is convalescing in Dublin, is determined to build back up her strength and get home.
Westmeath Fianna Fail Councillor Aengus O'Rourke says his mum was very lucky to survive it:
After months in hospital, at times very Ill, mam has made a great recovery in recent weeks. Thanks for all the good wishes, prayers and support, we really appreciate it. pic.twitter.com/bCpWfHhNmE
