It was very cold and the stepdad said even the mom was shivering that night, Yera continued, before noting how Cristian s stepfather woke up and checked on the kids in the middle of the night. He made sure they were okay. They were still breathing. He covered them up, patted them, and went back to sleep, Yera added.
Cristian was found unresponsive around 2.30 pm the following day, when his family called Yera and she went over to the house. The family had previously thought the child was sleeping. We still did CPR until the fire department came and they took over and within a minute they told us it was too late. It was hard because I have kids myself, Yera said.
Since the deadly winter storm ravaging the state forced pipes to burst and treatment plants to back up, destroying utilities and contaminating supplies, millions of Texans face water shortages. The shortage just added another number to the list of things Texans had to worry about.
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo said Friday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency COVID-19 vaccination super site will open Tuesday at NRG Park.

COVID-19 vaccination efforts are about to significantly ramp up next week in Houston.
The region s first vaccination super site will open on Tuesday at NRG Stadium, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo announced on Twitter Friday afternoon.
The site will vaccinate 42,000 people per week for three weeks, Hidalgo said.
The site is one of three in Texas backed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The two other Texas super sites are located in Dallas-Fort Worth at AT&T Stadium and Fair Park, the Houston Chronicle reported.
The opening of the super site means Houstonians who signed up via the city or county s vaccine waitlist should keep an eye out for updates on when they may be able to schedule an appointment. Residents who have yet to sign up for either waitlist are encouraged to do so.
