FLORENCE, Ariz. - An Arizona toddler is recovering at home after being bitten twice by a rattlesnake earlier this month.

"I was able to put two and two together and then just rush her to the hospital." Cara went to the nearby emergency room but then was airlifted to Phoenix Children's Hospital. "Her foot was already black," the mother added. Cara spent several days in the hospital where doctors had to intubate her and provide antivenom. What they're saying Jacquelyn said her daughter is able to crawl but cannot walk due to the pain she has in her foot.

"I think that we just continue to be so grateful and feeling so much love and so many prayers," Jacquelyn said. "Super consolable, super-happy kid," Jacquelyn continued. "She always usually loves to read books. She loves to go out to the garden with me and play with the flowers." The family has also taken more steps to remove any remaining rattlesnakes from the property. What's next Jacquelyn said her daughter has been able to move her feet and toes and amputation may not be possible. It's not clear if any tissue will have to be removed as doctors determine how extensive the damage the venom had done. What you can do The family has previously setup a GoFundMe page to help out with any medical expenses. "I think that we just continue to be so grateful and feeling so much love and so many prayers," Jaquelyn added. Dig deeper According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, rattlesnakes are the largest venomous snakes in the country. The CDC, if you're bitten by a snake you should: Seek emergency medical attention as soon as possible to start antivenom (if needed) and stop irreversible damage. Do not drive yourself to the hospital because the snakebite can make you dizzy or pass out. Take a photograph from a safe distance to identify the snake if possible, which may aid in faster treatment.

FedEx plane seen flying while on fire near Newark Airport
The Brief A FedEx plane was seen flying while on fire Saturday morning near Newark Airport. FedEx said the flight experienced a bird strike during takeoff and was able to return safely to Newark. Aviation accidents and close calls that have been making headlines in recent weeks have some people worried about the safety of flying. A FedEx plane was seen flying while on fire Saturday morning near Newark Airport in New Jersey. Various videos posted to social media showed flames on one wing of the aircraft, a Boeing 767-3S2F. What they're saying A FedEx spokesperson told FOX Television Stations in an email that the flight experienced a bird strike during takeoff. "Our crew declared an emergency and returned safely to Newark," the statement continued. "We are thankful for the quick actions of our crew and first responders." No injuries were reported. The flight had been headed to Indianapolis. Big picture view Aviation accidents and close calls that have made headlines in recent weeks have some people worried about the safety of flying. The midair collision that killed 67 near Washington D.C. in January was the worst disaster. But there was also the plane that crashed and flipped over upon landing in Toronto, the fiery plane crash in Philadelphia and a plane crash in Alaska that killed 10, as well as two small planes that collided in Arizona. Those all came before the scary moment this week in Chicago when a Southwest Airlines plane had to abort its landing to avoid crashing into another plane crossing the runway. RELATED: Shocking audio reveals moments before Southwest Plane nearly collides with jet at Midway Dig deeper President Donald Trump added to those concerns when, in January, he blamed the midair collision over Washington D.C. on the "obsolete" air traffic control system that airports rely on and promised to replace it. RELATED: Trump blasts DEI in wake of DC plane crash The other side The track record of U.S. airlines is remarkably safe. Fatal crashes attract extraordinary attention partly because they are rare. By the numbers The National Safety Council estimates that Americans have a 1-in-93 chance of dying in a motor vehicle crash, while deaths on airplanes are too rare to calculate the odds. Figures from the U.S. Department of Transportation tell a similar story. The Source Information in this article was taken from a FedEx statement emailed to FOX Television Stations, and from social media video obtained by Storyful, a licensing agency. Background information on recent aviation disasters and accidents was taken from previous FOX Television Station reportings and from The Associated Press. This story was reported from Detroit.

The Brief Starting March 4, Starbucks will remove less popular drinks to simplify its menu and focus on top-selling items, the company confirmed. Items like the Iced Matcha Lemonade and Espresso Frappuccino will be discontinued. Starbucks plans a roughly 30% menu reduction by September 2025 in order to introduce new drinks and seasonal items. SEATTLE - Starbucks is swapping out some fan-favorite drinks to make room for a new batch of flavors. Starting March 4, Starbucks told FOX Television Stations it will remove a selection of "less popular beverages" from the menu. What they're saying "These items aren't commonly purchased, can be complex to make, or are similar to other beverages on the menu," Starbucks said in a statement to FOX, noting that it will be simplifying its menu to focus on fewer, more popular items. The drinks that are being removed are: Iced Matcha Lemonade, Espresso Frappuccino, Caffè Vanilla Frappuccino, Java Chip Frappuccino, White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino, Frappuccino Crème Blended Beverages, White Hot Chocolate, Royal English Breakfast Latte and Honey Almondmilk Flat White. "This will make way for innovation, help reduce wait times, improve quality and consistency, and align with our core identity as a coffee company," Starbucks continued. What's next Additional beverages and food will exit the Starbucks menu throughout the coming months, resulting in a roughly 30% reduction of menu items in the U.S. by the end of Sept. 2025 to make way for new products. The company said it would be focusing on premium beverages rooted in customer trends and preferences going forward. In January, Starbucks introduced the Cortado, which the company said has already performed beyond its expectations. This spring, Starbucks is bringing back lavender beverages, including the Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha and the Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte. The company will also introduce new seasonal beverage – the Iced Cherry Chai, alongside a new food item, the Jalapeño Chicken Pocket. Big picture view Earlier Monday, Starbucks announced that it would be laying off 1,100 corporate employees across the globe. The move comes as dozens of other private companies have announced layoffs so far in 2025, as well as thousands of positions within the federal government.
