MAJOR MILESTONE!!! My lil’ guy Caleb just got clearance to move to cancer check-ups every three months! Yahoo! Only 4 times a year! 🙌❤️🙏🏼 He would love positive thoughts & prayers, as he undergoes more testing this week to check for long-term damage from treatment.
A huge thanks to Carlos Correa & his family's foundation for honoring my cancer fighting son, Caleb, as a hero today. It has been an amazing day of smiles, hanging out with players before the game. ⚾️🎗

Officer Nestor Garcia was hit by a drunk driver going 60 MPH & it dragged his body along the SW Frwy! We started a prayer chain across the city. If he survived, he wasn’t expected to walk or talk again. HE’S NOW BACK AT WORK! 🙌🙏🏼

Happy Friday! Let the healing begin! Sure helps that my mom is a nurse, haven't missed one "icing" every 20 minutes - it's a full-time job. LOL Hope you have a nice weekend!💋 Rarin' & ready to get those dancin' shoes back on!!! 💃🏻
What a blessing! Houston Astros great

, to make my little boy & cancer fighter Caleb, have the best Christmas ever! SPEECHLESS.
Wow, my new hero! We interviewed an Astros super-fan, visiting here from Houston. She was paralyzed while serving in the army, but she just completed the DC marathon on this hand bike. She hopes to finish marathons in 50 cities before her 50th birthday. She can’t wait for game 5!
Relief, at its finest! This lil’ guy really scared us this time... missed his 1st week of school, bounced from Urgent Care to the ER & had major symptoms of a relapse. Nope. He’s still in remission, thank you very much! Continuing to practice FAITH over FEAR!
Sooo excited! My son won his state speaking competition, so now he gets to represent his school at Nationals in D.C. this summer. Way to go, Zach!!! Couldn't be more proud of you! 🥰
Look who made it home! We have never been so happy for answered prayers. One month in the hospital & endless rehab and my mom is making a strong comeback! Feel blessed about the superb healthcare she received! Feel thankful for your words of encouragement & prayers!!! 🙌🙏🏼🥰
What a week! Caleb’s enjoying a half-day off from school to celebrate his A-Honor Roll award for the entire year. Feeling blessed that he beat “chemo brain”! 🙌🙏🏼
6 yrs ago today, also on Friday the 13th, my son was diagnosed with leukemia. During
#ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth
- I encourage you to trust your gut instinct! Get 2nd & 3rd opinions, if you feel something’s wrong. It took FIVE to get Caleb’s diagnosis!
My heart is laboring today. Had to say final farewells to our lil’ love, Maggie Mae. I’ll always remember her soft kisses, warm snuggles, her obsessions with food & trash (oh my!) & how she loved to chase lizards & squirrels. RIP my precious fur-baby.
“Boys don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses.”🙄 I started wearing contacts, when someone told me that when I was 15. Funny how you never forget comments like that. So yes, I’m paranoid about wearing my glasses for a few days. Not that I need any “passes”... LOL 🤪
Spending extra time in my prayer garden, after watching our church service online. Got an important message from it, worthy of sharing. "Praying has a better chance of changing tomorrow than worrying." I truly believe this.
#NationalDayofPrayer

Moments that take your breath away & not because of a mask... I always try to live in faith that my Caleb remains cancer-free, but it's empowering every single time his Oncologist smiles with the results & says those glorious words "all clear". 🙌🙏

#LawEnforcementAppreciationDay
- we want to say THANK YOU to those who help keep our community safe & a better place to live!
Results = CLEAR! 🙌🙏 Only ONE MORE check-up in 4 months & then Caleb will graduate as a CANCER SURVIVOR! Thank you my prayer warriors for sticking with us and to my bosses at FOX who have given their full support for 8 years! 🥰
@TexasChildrens
My little fighter, Caleb, was born 12 years ago today! He has always been tough - this was his 2nd birthday as Bamm-Bamm from the Flintstones, the hero he simulated at the time. 😆

Hard for me to believe, but I'm at work, packing up, like many of you. I've been setting up a home studio this weekend, so hope to bring you the latest news LIVE from my house tomorrow. Please take care & let's remain positive during these trying times. Huge hugs to all. 💋🙏
Two weeks of groceries? CHECK! Isn’t life a balancing act?! Learning to condense errands so that I can still cook for the fam & spend time at the hospital with my mom. Today was a BIG DAY - she’s starting to make progress. 🙏🏼 Thanks for all of your well wishes & prayers.
Sigh of relief & lifting our hands high in praise, that my son Caleb just got another "clean bill of health"! 🙌 We delayed his check-up as long as possible b/c of the pandemic. Had to discuss POSSIBLE long-term effects of chemo but we continue to pray he'll be spared. 🙏
17 years ago today, we said, "I do". For better or for worse, we promise to make the best of everything. I miss dressing up together like this, yet we truly have cherished more quiet time alone at home the past few months.💞
Thank you, Houston!! I'm celebrating 23 years
@FOX26Houston
this week. Remember my 1st co-anchor at 9pm, Mike Barajas? Too many fond memories to count with my FOX fam.💙
I asked my honey if he would help me sweep tonight, and I kid you not I had to race in the room to find out what the racket was. He is sweeping with a leaf blower. 😳😂❤️
Packing up a lifetime of memories. We have spent most weekends in the metroplex, closing up my in-law's home, after losing them a few months ago. We discovered my MIL kept every letter or card we sent her. We knew she loved us deeply, but signs like that tell the whole story. ❤️
Reporting LIVE from the OR again. Call me Clutz. 🤪 Just underwent emergency surgery after crushing my finger. Our electricity went out & when I manually opened the garage door, a hinge captured my phalange. 🙄Thank goodness for the surgeon who rebuilt it with pins.
Feeling blessed! Caleb got a clean bill of health & cleared to play in his football game tonight. Our dream is unfolding in front of our eyes. In one short year, he'll finally be deemed cured of

Snuggling-in for the night at my home-away-from-home at Fox 26. Please be careful & make sure you can be alerted about severe weather throughout the night. Our weather app can help do that! I hope & pray this storm has more bark than bite & that you and your family stay safe.
Please RT! 1 in 19 million chances! Lil’ Alesha finally got a bone marrow match. She still needs plenty of healing prayers, but all she wants for Christmas is greeting cards:

Heading out for the hubber’s company Christmas party. He’s been with the same company since college, so seems like we’re celebrating more tonight with family than colleagues. ❤️ Merry Christmas season to you & yours!
I recently started scrapbooking again. Going through some of the happiest times in life can be very uplifting, like when my lil' warrior finished chemo. Hope you're finding ways to stay busy & uplifted. ❤️
Just in time for the holidays, a beautiful ‘clean bill of health’ for my lil’ cancer fighter, Caleb. 🙌🙏Thankful we get to play with “Cohen” at the hospital & for good health. Please hug & love on those around you & try not to take good health for granted. xoxo
Something amazing has happened to our family! Meet our new lil’ addition, Benson, AKA Benny! He was a big Christmas surprise for our boys. He has already added so much love & laughter to our home. His little pawprints are all over our hearts.🐾❤️
Can't thank you enough for all of the beautiful birthday messages today. 💖 Thank you for the love, you have filled my heart FULL!!!! Now getting spoiled at my mom's house with her homemade cake. 🍰
This guy is a HERO!!! A car in front of Adam, on the 610 Loop, tossed-out this kitty. 😳 Adam saved it from other cars racing by! Now he has a new pet he calls “Mr. Whiskers”. ❤️🐱 His new collar says “Who rescued who”?

Couldn't help but hug my mom for the first time in two months. We were reduced to tears while witnessing the Blue Angels fly over to honor healthcare workers. My mom is a nurse & we talked her into fully retiring to protect her life during the pandemic. She'd rather be helping
He's officially a teenager! Special day, celebrating Caleb's BIG 13th Birthday today! I feel like so many of you played a role in him being happy 'n healthy, due to all of your prayers & loving support through the years. Thank you. ❤️

A precious friend left a care package on our porch with this shirt. Such a powerful message, I wanted to share it with you. 💞 Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.
It's the little things in life that are so big! A darling friend dropped off a basket of fresh farm eggs. So cute, some are blue. I want to support this fam-owned biz when I drive through Madisonville. They only charge $1 per dozen of organic eggs! 🙌❤️

One of our sweet viewers asked where she could find a cougar-print blouse like this. I assured her I was channeling leopard, not cougar vibes. 😂❤️ (It’s all good, I get ‘em confused too! 😘)
Wow, four years ago today was one of the best days of my life. Caleb's oncologist deemed him cancer-free & he rang that glorious bell after four long years of chemotherapy every day of the week. All of your positive thoughts & prayers have helped keep him that way. 🙏 Thank you!
Well hello Sunshine! 🌞 Just stepped outside for the 1st time today, after our newscast. Might just have to write medical stories in the great outdoors today! 😆 Hope you stop to get some fresh air, sure does a body good! 💋
