Yesterday, she shared another heartfelt update on his ongoing health crisis on Instagram, after a trip to Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.
She started the post off with, "Every six months, Bennett and I make our way to @childrensla for his heart check-up. I have a routine. Morning prayers. I cover myself with every item that gives me strength."
She also said, "... these healthcare professionals are actual heroes. We literally cannot live without them."

Luckily, as DeLoach explained, all checked out okay for Bennett on this visit: "Bennett's heart check-up was uneventful which is exactly what you pray for. 'Heart holding strong. No intervention needed yet.' Any mama who has been in a health crisis with their child prays for the 'uneventful.' And we could not be more blessed and grateful."
Plenty of well wishes poured in for DeLoach and her son, including from fellow Hallmark stars.
Ashley Williams said, "You blow me away. ❤️❤️," and actor Cameron Mathison added heart emojis as well.
Fans also sent kind words to DeLoach, with one saying, "Amazing ❤️ As someone who has gone through heart surgeries myself, this hits home. Always grateful after every check up to hear my doctor say all is well. Blessings to you all!"Another added, "Warrior Bennett, Warrior Mama, Warriors of CHLA!!! They are needed, and they press on toward the miracles. Thank you for being strong and for soldiering on. We need the miracles of you all every day."
It's so wonderful to hear that Bennett got a good report, and we can only imagined how relieved DeLoach must be. She's an incredible mom of an incredible kid!
