SCARY STUFF! TV REPORTER SUFFERS POTENTIAL STROKE LIVE ON AIR RENDERING HER UNABLE TO SPEAK...


unsurprisingly she was hospitalized after this report went out...fingers crossed she's ok...
Update on Serene:
As many of you know CBS2 reporter Serene Branson experienced some health-related problems last night during our post-Grammys newscast. She was examined by paramedics on scene immediately after her broadcast. Her vital signs were normal. She was not hospitalized. As a precautionary measure, a colleague gave her a ride home. And while Serene says she is feeling better today, she wants us to know she followed-up with a visit to the doctor for some medical tests. Serene thanks everyone for their concern and good wishes and hopes to be back on the air very soon.
