Jessie Swift was supposed to head home to Mountain House (into SJC) from Vegas on Monday. His bag was already checked when his flight got cancelled. No sign of the bag since… UNTIL HE JUST SAW IT IN MY 5AM LIVE SHOT AT SJC ON @abc7newsbayarea!!! He said he raced here to get it!

When a former patient shows up to our NICU reunion dressed up as one of her heroes, a NICU nurse! 🥹 I had so much fun shooting this video!

RSV season is here, and protecting newborns is easier than ever. Dr. Stacey Fang, ob-gyn, told @KCBSRadio families can choose either an RSV vaccine during pregnancy or an antibody shot for babies under 8 months. Both are safe and highly effective. k-p.li/4rYGvJM
