Alison Beshur's eyes well as she recalls the emotional roller coaster she endured a little more than a year ago when her just-born son William was whisked away to the neonatal intensive care unit at North Central Baptist Hospital. William was taken to the NICU when his blood oxygen level dropped below normal and he became lethargic and started showing signs of jaundice. A few months after leaving the hospital, Beshur learned of steps she could take to help other NICU babies. While still breast-feeding William, Beshur heard about the Mothers' Milk Bank at Austin from co-workers and began donating her milk to the nonprofit organization, which pasteurizes and dispenses breast milk to critically ill or fragile babies. “Breast milk is best for all human babies, but it's lifesaving for these tiny babies,” she says. The potential donor first answers questions about her lifestyle and medical history, undergoes blood tests and submits paperwork for review. Most donors must commit to a minimum donation of 100 ounces, enough to provide 300 meals for a premature infant, Updegrove says. Destiny spent two months in the NICU and received donated breast milk. “They talk to you about premature babies having setbacks, and while she was (in the NICU), she didn't have any setbacks, and she just kept progressing,” Brown says.

A Comal County jury on Monday sentenced Michael P. Kennedy of Bulverde to 65 years in prison for the attempted capital murder of Schertz Police Officer Richard Kunz during a traffic stop on Interstate 35 eight years ago.

The order by Kendall County Commissioners comes amid litigation and feuding among neighbors on the narrow, winding dead-end road
