The life of a premature(早产的) baby born during the winter storm in Texas was saved thanks to a team of medical professionals, including a doctor and two nurses who travelled from East Austin to Marble Falls in an effort to save a newborn baby's life.

When Arias began experiencing pains, she and her parents headed to the closest hospital, Baylor Scott & White. Arias gave birth to her daughter, Zaylynn, who weighed just over one pound and was in need of advanced special care. However, the hospital does not offer the specialized care premature babies require.

"We had five or six people out at the nurses' station calling hospital networks all over the state of Texas," said Meredith Schubert, the labor and delivery nurse on duty when Arias arrived. "Nobody could answer our cry for help."

They finally reached Dr. John Loyd through a patient, division neonatologist(新生儿学专家) chief at Dell Children's Medical Center in Austin, Texas. Around 5 p. m., after already having worked a full shift, Loyd packed his SUV with equipment and he and two nurses set out for Marble Falls, about 55miles away. The drive took Loyd and the nurses about two hours as they drove. in the night through ice and snow.

After safely arriving at the medical center in Marble Falls around 8 p. m., the Dell Children's crew set up a temporary newborn ICU. Together, the Dell Children's and Baylor Scott & White teams worked around the clock to care for the mother and daughter.

Once the weather cleared enough to allow for a helicopter to safely land. Zaylynn was transferred(转移) to Dell Children's, where there is a Level IV newborn intensive care unit(重症监护室).

Schubert said, "It was a huge relief and a sense of accomplishment and joy that Zaylynn finally got to the place where she needed to be."

Arias said that she was grateful to the doctors and nurses who worked together to save her daughter.

It was time for the annual Potato-Salad Contest in Russet Park. After trying for the third time, Alexis shook her head sadly. There was no way she would win the Golden Potato again because Grandpa wasn't here this year.

Memories of how Grandpa taught her to make potato rose in her mind. She sighed and missed Grandpa so much.

Alexis cut the potatoes and mixed the boiled potatoes, some sauces and a little salt and peppers in a bowl. But it didn't taste right. Alexis tried a bite of the salad mixture, wondering what was missing. Seeing her frown, Mom suggested, "What about something spicy? Your Grandpa loved spicy things."

"You're right! Maybe he put a jalapeno pepper in it," Alexis said, cutting up a bright green jalapeno and adding it to the bowl.

It was closer, but it still didn't taste right. Alexis was drooping her head, disappointed. "Should we look in a cookbook?"

"Grandpa was never one to follow a recipe," Dad entered the kitchen and said.

It was true. People loved Grandpa's potato salad because it was one of a kind. Alexis remembered posing with Grandpa for a photo while they were making the salad.

Photo! That gave her an idea. Alexis hurried to the bookcase and found an old photo album. She immediately flipped it open, expecting to find clues in the photos there. Lots of photos showed Grandpa and Grandma cooking together. Dad laughed, "He and Grandma loved to tease each other but he always called her Honey."

"Do you think he put honey in the potato salad?" Mum asked.

"It is worth a try," said Alexis. She stirred some honey into the bowl.

But it still wasn't quite right. Alexis' heart sank, on the verge of giving up. Dad kept flipping the album. At the end of the album was the picture of Grandpa and Alexis making the salad together.
