RAYTOWN, Mo. — It was supposed to be Victoria Denney’s first Mother’s Day.

“This is not what I had in mind. I pictured a day filled with a sweet card from my husband, maybe some flowers, but most certainly a baby in my arms,” Victoria wrote in her blog.

But her baby, Josh, was not in her arms. In February, 29 weeks into pregnancy, Victoria developed high blood pressure and protein in the urine. It was preeclampsia, a dangerous condition for mother and baby. The amniotic fluuid level was dropping, so Josh had to be delivered more than two months early.

“The doctors just kept telling us how strong he was,” Victoria said.

But 36 hours after birth, a nurse told Victoria that Josh was having a hard time. Nothing could prepare Victoria and husband for what they saw when they entered the neonatal intensive care unit.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — This time of year, we hear a lot about senior pranks or senior skip days by antsy teens ready to graduate. But there are some kids who graduated with a much more serious approach to their final days in high school and their futures.

“Anxious, more anxious than anything.”

It’s the final high school celebration for Washington High School’s class of 2013. There are many futures in this crowd, including a call to lay down your life for others.

“It’s always been my dream to serve my country and it’s been a family tradition and I’m just glad to do it,” said Jason Langley, whose part of a handful of students who will enlist in the military.

Courtney Liston is another.

“I didn’t really want to live the college life right after high school, and the experience and to be able to travel, the discipline I’ll receive,” she said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A Kansas City woman who admits shooting and killing her husband may serve just four months in jail after a Jackson County judge sentenced Charleatha Nevins to what’s called “shock time”.

Judge John Torrence sentenced her to 120 days in the Jackson County Detention Center. Nevins was 28 when she shot her 25-year old husband Eric Nevins on February 13, 2012. The two had been arguing about a credit card when she shot him in the 3400 block of Forest Avenue.

“She knew what she was doing. She had every intent to shoot him,” said Taloni Miller, the victim’s sister.

Miller is furious with the sentence. She says her former sister-in-law got a slap on the wrist.

“I wish someone would make sense out of it for me ’cause I can’t make sense out of it.”
