Good night friends, here’s to a brighter tomorrow, and turning this COVID-corner, one day at a time.
Life update: it breaks my heart to say goodbye, as I’m leaving Wave 3 News. Thank you all, for a decade of wonderful memories. I’ll cherish them forever. VIDEO GOODBYE & THANK YOU ➡️
I feel like I’ve been buried alive.
The weight of COVID, & this grueling journey trying to recover.
Now this sudden work change.
Life. All of it.
It’s hard to see the light, but I know I’ll get there one day, & bloom.
Thank you for your love & support, it means the world.
Thank you all for the kind words, and well wishes, for my family. We are overwhelmed and grateful. Please know I’ve read every message and will try to reply. Slow and steady wins this COVID-19 race. Not much has changed from this morning, but I’m hanging in there.
@wave3news
FEEL GOOD FRIDAY...
I’m feeling good, I made it to work, and I’m hanging with the best!
Doesn’t get much better than that.
How’s everyone doing this morning?
Whew! I made it💪🏼
It’s been 54 hours since I received my first Pfizer vaccine and I’m finally out of bed, and functioning.
It was rough there for a while, but I’ve had some energy the last few hours and I’m working on an important project I look forward to sharing with you soon
I’m delighted and honored to share some GOOD NEWS - it’s about time! Thank you to
@FL_Resort
for welcoming me with open arms, and to the Marketing team who had a hand in making me fall in love with the Resort many years ago! Excited for this adventure. 🙏🏻

😷MY COVID-19 JOURNEY😷 30 days out. I know I’ll be stronger because of this virus. I didn’t believe that 25 days ago, but I do today, and that’s progress.
I found a reason to smile today...I got the first dose of my vaccine thanks to

It’s called ‘A New Day’ 🎨
It was therapeutic/calming to paint this today.
I felt grounded, and in the moment for the first time in a while. I’m looking forward to ‘A New Day’ and year in 2021, filled with healing and hope.
(Don’t laugh, I’m not an artist it’s for my sanity 😊)
I’m filled with love this morning thanks to

#Covid_19
Today, my baby got his first dose of the vaccine.
I respect that getting vaccinated is a personal choice, so please respect that this was the best choice for our family. ❤️
I didn’t know it then, but my first time back on tv at Wave 3 News, after months of recovering from
#COVID19
, was one of my last. I wanted to share my story again, to help others battling this awful virus. VIDEO ➡️
😷MY COVID-19 JOURNEY😷
46 days since testing positive...
Here we go!
More tests on my lungs, and a six minute walk around UofL hospital to check my vitals.
Wish me luck.
It’s been brought to my attention that social media groups are trying to collect donations on behalf of me & my family, following my departure from WAVE beginning March 1st. This is not something we have organized/requested. I suspect this is a scam & encourage you NOT to donate.
When Mom and Dad
@JudeRedfield
are kidless for a few hours…
They go to
@Skyline_Chili
for lunch,
@Target
Costco and rock out to 80s music with the…AC up real high in the car! 🤪
Happy Saturday friends!
Hope you’re spending it with people who make your heart smile.
Amen. ❤️
Thank you to our wonderful neighbor Carla (who lives a few streets over, and I met for the first time today) for surprising me with flowers, this mug, and a gingerbread kit for our family.
So thoughtful, and it really lifted my spirits.
This mug is pretty powerful.
🥳 Join me in wishing my amazing husband
@JudeRedfield
a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🥳 He deserves more love today, for how much love he’s given our family these last few months. He single-handedly kept us going, when I had nothing to give. He’s our rock, our happy place...he’s home. ❤️
Please help me wish my hubby
@JudeRedfield
a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
46 years young and the light of our life.
The best husband, father, son, and friend.
I thank God every day for YOU!
Wow! Such a wonderful honor, I’m blown away by all the love. Thank you to everyone who voted for me, and to all of the remarkable women who set the bar SO HIGH every day. I’m honored to have my name even mentioned with all of the other nominees, they deserve all the love too!

I was in the hospital with COVID-19.
Tomorrow, for the first time in months, I’ll be back on

I’m SUPER happy!
I just had an assessment of my cognitive brain function through

I still have “mild cognitive brain function” but it’s better than when I started therapy months ago!

WHAT A DAY…
The mask mandate ended in Kentucky today. (with a few exceptions)
The timing of getting this chip, with a heart shape on the inside, wasn’t lost on me…while I ate INSIDE, WITHOUT a mask, at a local restaurant.
Wishing all of you good health & lots of happiness❤️
Delicious dinner
@BrasserieProven

…9 years ago we were dancing at our wedding, and tonight we are trying to stay awake past 9pm. 😂 Wouldn’t have it any other way! Happy Anniversary babe!

@JudeRedfield
and our kids for the first time in more than a year, with excited fans, and great weather that really does something for the soul. Tonight was perfect! Thanks Bats!!! (🤞🏻to pull off the win!)
The rain, nor a morning headache, stopped me from making it to work today!
Give yourself some extra time if you’re driving to work, dropping your kids off at school, or running some errands, the rain is really coming down out there for most of the area. Happy Monday!
I was on tv this morning for the first time in two and a half months, sharing my journey with

It meant a great deal to me when
@Norton_Health
wanted to put this video together, asking why I got vaccinated. The answer is simple: my family.
@JudeRedfield
our 3 kids, blended & extended family have been my North Star when I was lost the last 5 months recovering from

Thankful to live in the greatest country in the world, with my hubby

Grateful to those who allow us to live in the land of the free.
Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July. 🇺🇸❤️

#Covid_19
has changed my life, but my journey as a long-hauler is one of millions. I’m grateful to
@Norton_Health
for asking me to raise awareness and use my voice for those suffering in silence. A new chapter begins ➡️
He’s going to kill me for posting this. But it’s payback for all of the crap he’s posted about me 🤪 I was concerned
@JudeRedfield
was dead when I found him like this. Does anyone else SLEEP WITH THEIR EYE OPEN?!?!?
Y’all, I wrote a story today!
Biggest accomplishment I’ve had in months, and it only took me A FEW HRS!
COVID “brain fog” that we hear about, feels a lot like pregnancy brain to me.
Focusing takes a lot of...focus. 😫
Can’t wait to share more of my journey on tv, hopefully soon!
Thank you
@ShannonWAVENews
and
@JohnBoelWAVE3
for thinking of our family, and sending a $100 gift card for dinner. That was SO thoughtful and generous of you. We needed it tonight, and it was a HUGE help...any guesses where, John? ....
@Applebees
would be correct! 😊 THANK YOU!!!

Kathy visited her mother Esther on her 93rd birthday, at her assisted living facility in Brandenburg, KY. As we’ve reported, visitors aren’t allowed inside due to the Coronavirus, so Kathy improvised.
It’s moments like this we really need!
Happy Birthday, Esther!
