tonight, some migrants will be able to stay in the u.s. until their status is resolved rather than being instantly turned away. >> border officials say there could be tens of thousands of migrant in northern mexico right now waiting to cross that border. nbc's senior national correspondent tom llamas is in juarez, mexico, for us. good morning. >> reporter: hoda, good morning. title 42 expires tonight, but we're already seeing changes on the border, at least in this section this morning. you may remember we were right here for the "today" show yesterday. this is juarez. that's el paso, and overnight, this section of the border has completely transformed. what we're seeing are troops armed with machine guns. we're also seeing an extra layer of security, taller feps posts but maybe the bigger difference is there's much more activity at the entrance gate by the border wall. that has changed, potentially and possibly sending a sign to

migrants that policies are changing. overnight, the border getting fresh re-enforcements. armed u.s. troops building a new layer of barbed wire fencing just steps from juarez. with the pandemic era title 42 set to expire at midnight, the crowds of migrants gathering here growing. border officials estimate up to 65,000 migrants may be in northern mexico waiting to cross. >> this places an incredible strain on our personnel, our facilities, and our communities. >> on tuesday, more than 11,000 illegal border crossings in just 24 hours. >> we have a dangerous and deadly national security crisis unfolding at our southern border. and the crisis is soon to become a catastrophe. >> reporter: desperate scenes in el paso, including children living on the streets. migrants waiting for days to get processed but access to entry

points in some ways opening up. it's unclear why but probably for safety reasons a portion of that barbed wire fence on the u.s. side just before the border wall has been cut out. now, migrants woo cross illegally can walk up to the border wall in hopes of somehow being processed. and the journey to the border not getting any easier, even for those just steps from the u.s. extreme winds kicking up blinding dust, blanketing everything in sand. and those that do make it over will find new rules post title 42. in an attempt to monitor the countless families crossing illegally, i.c.e. announcing they'll offer a new alternative to detention, including a gps monitor for the head of the household and a curfew, but families that don't qualify for asylum will be deported. >> you think it's going to be harder to get in? the end of title 42 worries the castro family, for five months they have lived in a shelter,

escaping a cartel they say wanted to kidnap their 13-year-old daughter. they registered for an asylum hearing this saturday using the new cbp app, though they said they had to take a class to learn how to use it. do you think you're going to get asylum? >> tom, we're learning that the biden administration is going to unveil a new plan to deal with that surge at the border. what do we know about it? >> reporter: three sources tell nbc news that the biden administration plans to release some migrants without a court date and really with no way to track them right into the u.s. now, the homeland security secretary has responded to this. he said it's only a fraction of the migrants on the border, but so many people are trying to cross illegally, it's unclear what that number will be. it will likely lead to a lot more debates when it comes to immigration. hoda. >> all right, tom llamas for us in war es. tom, thank you. the battle over the border was among the issues addressed by former president trump during

a televised town hall in new hampshire last night. the event packed with trump supporters, both closely watched and immediately controversial with trump renewing a number of false claims. nbc's senior capitol hill correspondent garrett haake is on the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. mr. trump appeared at this cnn town hall where the audience according to cnn was made up of likely republican and undecided voters but it was clear this crowd was all in for trump. cheering him on as he repeated lies about the 2020 election, dug in on january 6th and his civil rape trial and many issues that could decide whether voters will send him back to the oval office. plez welcome the fronter for the republican nomination, former president donald trump. >> r >> reporter: overnight, former president donald trump, the republican front-runner, showing voters he hasn't changed again pushing lies and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election he lost. and going further in his support of people convicted of crimes

related to the january 6th attack on the capitol. >> i am inclined to pardon many of them. i can't say for every single one because a couple of them, probably they got out of control. i would say it would be a large portion of them. you know, they did a very -- [ applause ] and it will be very early on >> reporter: the former president also describing his supporters this way. >> they were there with love in their heart. that was an unbelievable, and it was a beautiful day. >> reporter: he refused to give an answer on whether he would back u.s. ally ukraine >> can you say if you want ukraine or russia to win this war? >> i want everybody to stop dying. >> reporter: russia invaded ukraine over a year ago and the u.s. has backed ukraine throughout its resistance. in one of the major conflicts mr. trump would face a president. on another, the economy, mr. trump downplaying the consequences of america defaulting on its debts. >> i say to the republicans out

there, if they don't give you massive cuts, you're going to have to do a default >> reporter: while he was president, republicans voted to raise the debt ceiling three times allowing the country to borrow more to avoid default economists say it could trager a massive recession. forced on whether he would enact an abortion ban, he refused to say. >> president trump is going to make a determination what he thinks is great for the country. >> reporter: the audience seeming very supportive of mr. trump, cheering and laughing throughout the event, including when he continued to attack e. jean carroll, just one day after a new york jury found him liable for sexually abusing her in 1996, and for defaming her in his denials of the assault >> i have no idea who the hell -- she's a whack job. >> president biden's campaign responding to the town hall overnight with a tweet reading, it's simple, folks do you really want four more

years of that? urging people who don't to donate to his re-election. >> thank you very much meantime, disgraced republican congressman george santos is free on bond this morning, after being indicted on an array of federal charges including fraud, misusing campaign contributions, and lying to congress. nbc's stephanie gosk was at the courthouse in new york and got the details for us good morning >> reporter: hey, hoda good morning george santos' hearing lasted just ten minutes with federal prosecutors laying out a laundry list of serious charges against him. most defendants in a federal case might run from the cameras but when the hearing was over, santos went straight to them and vowed he was going to fight. george santos mobbed by cameras outside federal court, moments after pleading not guilty to 13 federal charges. >> i'm going to fight the witch hunt i'm going to take care of clearing my name and i look forward to doing that. >> reporter: the freshman congressman says he won't resign and intends to run for re-election. even posting on twitter moments

after his indictment, looking for campaign donations house speaker kevin mccarthy who has not called on santos to resign, made it clear his support would come to an end in the next election. >> are you going to support him? >> i'm not going to support santos >> federal prosecutors accuse santos of wire fraud, money laundering, making false statements to the house of representatives, and theft of public funds among the accusations, he collected over $24,000 in new york unemployment benefits during the pandemic. even though he was earning $120,000 from a company in florida. santos also allegedly used thousands of dollars in campaign contributions to pay for personal expenses, like credit card payments and designer clothes. according to the indictment. congressman, did you take campaign donations and use that money to buy expensive suits >> no, i did not >> this campaign was never -- >> reporter: in the 2022 midterms he became the first openly gay republican elected to congress, but he ran on a

made-up resume, including a college degree he never received and jobs on wall street he never had, ultimately admitting some of it was fabricated >> did i embellish my resume yes, i did, and i'm sorry. >> reporter: after the federal indictment was sealed, residents in his district mostly split on party lines. >> he definitely should not be in office. >> if he has to clip the line, everybody else does. we'll have an mmempty capitol. >> reporter: his travel will be restricted from new york to d.c. and he had to turn over his passport his next court date is june 30th >> thank you turning now to a new development in a case we have been following for nearly 20 years. the unsolved disappearance of natalee holloway overnight, we learned the prime suspect is now set to be extradited to the united states. nbc's kristen dahlgren has the latest for us this morning

kristen, good morning to you >> reporter: good morning. natalee holloway would be 36 years old today. her case the subject of endilous media attention over the years it's been more than a decade since joran van der sloot was federally charged in the u.s. for wire fraud and extortion he's in prison in peru for the murder of another woman but will face charges here after the government of peru agreed to extradite him. nearly 20 years since the sudden disappearance of 18-year-old natalee holloway, joran van der sloot, the prime suspect in the case, will be september to birmingham, alabama, where he'll phase wire fraud and extortion cases. overnight, the government of peru aproving his temporary extradition. he was seen leaving a nightclub with haul away in may of 2005, the night she vanished no one has been charged in her disappearance and her body was never found. in 2012, an alabama judge signed an order declaring holloway

legally dead beth holloway releasing a statement saying it has been a very long and painful journey, but the persistence of many is going to pay off we're finally getting justice for natalie. in 2010, van der sloot reached out to the attorney, promising to not only explain what happened to natalie but where to find her remains in exchange for a quarter of a million dollars. van der sloot was wired $25,000 as part of an fbi sting. eventually leading to the current wire fraud and extortion charges against him. authorities believe van der sloot used the money to flee to peru, where months later he was arrested for the murder of 21-year-old stephany flores, who died on the fifth anniversary of natalie's disappearance. he was convicted in 2012 and has been serving a 28 year prison sentence beth talking to savannah in 2015 >> does it feel like justice to you that he is in jail right now? even if not for the killing of your daughter?

>> justice is being served for stephanie. but until joran faces exportion charges in the u.s., then justice has not been served for natalie. >> nbc news has reached out to his u.s. attorney for comment but no response. overnight, peru's ambassador to th that reads in part, we hope this action will enable a process that will help to bring peace to mrs. holloway and her family who are grieving in the same way the flores family in peru are grieving for their daughter. >> thank you let's move now to a major decision impacting millions of women all across the country an fda panel voting unanimously to recommend the first ever over the count er birth control pil. opill is a contraception with no age restrictions and has been available for years just by prescription advocates say the change would significantly expand access, especially for young women nbc news medical contributor

dr. natalie azar joins us now. we knew there was going to be some kind of decision yesterday. what went into it, was the thought process? >> going into it, the fda was asked to weigh in on whether they thought a woman could safely and effectively take this over the counter without the assistance of a health care provider and also whether or not that woman would be able to self-identify herself as someone who may not be a candidate for taking this medication after a thorough, you know, review of the data, they basically came to the conclusion that the risk of harm was far, far less than the potential for benefit in reducing unintended pregnancies, improving reproductive autonomy, and really expanding access. and particularly to marginalized communities. there's this thing that we have about 19 million women in this country who live in areas that are called contraceptive deserts where there's just very, very little access to reproductive care and health clinics and providers who can provide this kind of reproductive care. >> the advisory board says yes,

then what happens and how soon might this be available upon final approval >> the presumption is when the fda makes the final decision over the summer they will tallo the advisory committee's recommendations. it's not a foregone conclusion, but we're assuming the fda will likely sign off on it. after that, you can expect it to be on store shelves probably in short order, but that's the way it's going to go in terms of cost, we don't know exactly yet. it needs to be priced equitably. the majority of states in this country don't mandate that over the counter medications are covered by insurance, so we'll see. there's no point in having it on store shelves if people can't afford it. the drug company has also said they would like to provide consumer assistance, s crossed it will be something most women can afford. >> time for our first check of the weather. al is doing great. already home >> any doubt i'm surprised he's not here right now. >> up and walking already as well on that new knee.

>> nice to be here i'm so glad al is doing fine i'm sure he's watching good morning, buddy. we do have some rain and storms in the forecast for today. the heaviest of the rain will be down across the southern plains and then most of the storms we see today will be right through the central plains we have this area that includes west central kansas, also stretching down to include oklahoma city where we could see large hail, perhaps two inches or more in diameter. we could see a few isolated tornadoes. right through here, that's where we have our best chance of seeing stronger tornadoes developing later on this afternoon into this evening. as we go into tomorrow, this area splits up a little bit and moves farther to the east. des moines, kansas city, we could see our stronger storms there tomorrow along with areas across central texas and into parts of south central oklahoma too. as for rain, we could see as much as 7 to 10 inches of rain in parts of texas. that's an area that as already seen a a lot of rain

in-depth this morning, a potential danger for drivers and pedestrians. those ultra-bright headlights that can cause dangerous accidents. >> the headlights in newer vehicles were designed to improve visibility, but now, they are also having unintended consequences vicky joins us she's shining a light on this highway hazard hey, vick, good morning. >> good morning, hoda and savannah you have likely experienced this yourself at home bright headlights shining into your rearview mirror or blinding you from oncoming traffic. now, regulators in europe have found a solution, so why are we so behind here in the u.s. we'll tell you what you can do right now to stay safe on the road >> reporter: social media is filled with photos and videos of blinding headlights. >> i can't even see! i'm like literally getting blinded from the guy's headlights behind me >> reporter: watch these close calls, apparently caused by the glare. this driver barely misses that pedestrian another near-collision with an oncoming car and this crash into a downed tree >> the light does look much

brighter >> reporter: john is a scientist who studies lights for the mt. sinai's school of lighting he says older headlights use halogen bulbs, which have a softer orange color, but newer ones are bluish white. >> you're creating a lot of glare for those other drivers. >> in a potentially dangerous situation. >> reporter: he showed us the difference first hand with an older halogen head lamp and a newer l.e.d., both emitting the same amount of light >> i'll look at the warm light to get a sense okay, yeah, it's bright. let me see what the l.e.d. light does, oh, yeah, this one for sure, much, much brighter. it hurts my eyes and actually, i'm still seeing the spots from it why is it that they appear brighter >> our eyes are more sensitive to blue light. >> reporter: he says the issue is magnified when a headlight is out of alignment, a common problem. an nbc news analysis found only ten states require annual inspections that check to see that headlights are aligned correctly, pointing straight out

and down bola shifts an l.e.d. headlight out of alignment by just a few degrees to show me what can happen on the road >> the l.e.d.s are already quite bright, but when they're tilted up, you can't see anything else. this would be very dangerous if i were driving >> reporter: another contributing factor, large trucks and suvs which made up 75% of all vehicle sales last year those taller vehicles means headlights are higher and more likely to shine directly into the eyes of a driver in a smaller, lower vehicle >> i couldn't see for five to ten seconds. >> reporter: aaron madrid totaled his chevy sonic in november when an oncoming pickup truck blinded him. >> by the time i was able to see, i had swerved into oncoming traffic and ended up in a tree >> reporter: fortunately, he wasn't hurt. >> it was lights out >> but ashanti collins wasn't so lucky. she says in may of 2021, the lights from an oncoming vehicle led to her crash was it totally blinding? >> yes, i couldn't see anything.

that was the only thing i seen before i woke up on the side of the road in my car >> reporter: she had to be airlifted to a hospital to treat a broken arm and a dislocated wrist. when you look at the pictures of your car, did you think that it was a miracle that you survived that crash >> yes, definitely looking at the car, it was just insane >> reporter: experts and automakers agree the primary solution to this glaring problem is something called adaptive headlight technology right now, it's only available on test vehicles here in the u.s., but i'm going to show you how it works i'm here in virginia at the audi u.s. headquarters to show us what the future of driving at night might look like. audi's head of product management, philip rawbeck >> what do these lights do >> instead of thinking like a static light, like a low-beam and a high-beam, think of it as a projector. there's 1.3 million micromirrors in each headlight that create this image >> and it's not blinding other people >> and it's not blinding other people >> reporter: i get behind the

wheel to see for myself. >> wow i can see everything >> yep >> this experience of driving at night is completely different. and so much better i feel like a safer driver >> notice these arrows on the pavement >> it's helping you stay within the lanes. >> as i pull on to the highway, the lights highlight my lane without affecting other drivers. >> now he got in front of me, and notice how it's got a shadow on it now. >> yeah, oh, interesting >> reporter: but the real light show takes place on this dark, windy road >> it almost feels like magic because of the amount of light that's being cast all over i'm not used to seeing that as a driver >> reporter: i switch cars so i can see what it's like to drive towards the test car >> his high beams are on, but they're not a problem, whereas this car behind him with the l.e.d.s is quite bright. it's remarkable to see the difference do you think this technology is life-saving? >> absolutely. >> and here's the thing. adaptive headlights have been

used in europe and several other countries for about a decade now, but automakers and safety experts say red tape here in the united states means it could be years before we see this technology allowed on cars here. we have an in-depth article about why it's taken so long you can find that on today.com >> it seems like it should be rushing that it's like magic trick, it works like a dream but until that happens, what can drivers do >> the key here is you have to slow down when you're driving at night. always look to the right, don't look to the left when oncoming traffic is headed towards you, and don't wear sunglasses at night. some people do that to deal with the headlights >> cory hart does it, but other than that -- >> remember that song? ♪ i wear my -- ♪ how'd you pull that name outout? >> i have n >> i have no idea. >> the weirdest memory >> going through the files and suddenly it was there. occasionally it works. remember that song

>> i do! that was very impressive >> i didn't know who sang it well done! we do have some strong storms light through the middle of the country expected today, especially this afternoon and this evening, when those storms develop. we could see large hail, damaging winds, and isolated, very strong tornadoes are possible, too, as these super cells fire up. and you go down along the gulf coast, that's where we'll see most of our heavy rain we've already had a lot of rainfall recently, another couple of inches could cause some flooding there. in the northeast, up and down the east coast, it looks absolutely stunning. lots of temperatures up into the 70s and lower 80s, lots of sunshine, too, and out west, looks beautiful. continue with the sunshine, even i am meteorologist, kari hall. it's going to be a really nice day. temperatures inland reaching into the low 70s, and it will be warmer tomorrow with low 80s. we peak at 90 degrees in the valleys on saturday. we're still very hot and also slightly more humid a mother's day. for san francisco expect temperatures in the low 60s and

just behind me, that's el paso and you can see there in the distance armed troops. this is completely new and new layers of security new fencing, more barbed wire. this is all in anticipation of title 42 which expires tonight we want to talk about the potential surge and the surge that has already happened. we have new reporting that on tuesday, there were 11,000 arrests of migrants crossing illegally into the u.s. and there are some numbers that there are 65,000 migrants waiting to cross into the u.s. here in northern mexico. so we're waiting to see what happens over the next 24 hours in the meantime, we are getting some new information about what is changing with the biden administration and what they're hoping to implement, including a new rule for many families, migrant families these migrant families, essentially, will not be detained what's going to happen is that they're going to give them gps monitors so the head of the households,

on top of that, beyond that -- excuse all the alarms going off. we're having some issues with cars behind us besides the gps monitors, they're going to be giving curfews as well. and if they do not pass their asylum hearings, they are going to be deported a lot of new changes i want to mention one more thing. we focused a lot about the security on the u.s. side and what u.s. troops, national guard are doing. what i.c.e. and custom border protection is doing. we've been out here several days we have not seen a singl mexican law enforcement on this side of the border, juarez it's unclear what's happening with the mexican authorities president biden has said that they are working with mexico, but from our vantage point, we have seen no law enforcement on this side of the border. guys, back to you. >> tom llamas for us there a the border in juarez tom, thank you now to a development that could be a game changer for the millions of families dealing with childhood peanut allergies. it's a new treatment, a skin patch, and it's shown really promising results in toddlers. here to explain how it works, dr. natalie azar this is a serious issue, if you have a child with a peanut

allergy, you kind of live in fear that it could be triggered and get very sick or worse so how does this work? >> and just to that point, about 2% of kids actually have a peanut allergy and only about 20% of kids actually grow out of it this study looks at toddlers between the ages of 1 to 3 the way this works is a patch. and on the patch is a little bit of a protein from the peanuts that's about the equivalent of 1/1,000th of a kernel of a peanut the child wears the patch on their back between their shoulder blades, and you put a new patch on every 24 hours. the way it works, the whole concept of desensitization or this immunotherapy, you're giving incremental amounts of this protein, so your body learns to tolerate it and not trigger an allergic reaction to it >> is this for someone who has a peanut allergy already >> yes these are all kids who had peanut allergies >> they put this on their back, and it gives little doses. it might seem scary for some who say, if my kid comes even near

peanuts -- >> that's the thing and what the allergists are saying is there's such a small window of opportunity, and kids have such a plastic immune system at this age that they can respond really well what they found was that after one year, two-thirds of the kids were able to tolerate anywhere from the equivalent of 1 to 4 peanuts. it wasn't a cure, but here's the thing. i was always saying i'm so glad my kids didn't have an allergy, but i have a lot of friends whose kids did going to birthday parties, into a restaurant this is the kind of thing where you basically now expanded your tolerance to it, so now if your child is in a place where they've made something with peanut, you can feel much more secure that they won't actually have a reaction. >> just real quick, when can you get it if you want it? >> here's the thing. that's always the thing. the fda has asked for more safety data, great so it probably won't be until 2024, to be quite honest >> next year >> it's not something that's right around the corner, but right now there's a pill for 4

and up this is for young ones and a patch, so excellent news excellent and very promising >> very encouraging. >> natalie, thank you. >> thank you let's talk nba playoffs, shall we the new york knicks keeping their season alive thanks to a big, big night from jalen brunson. >> rebounds. randall puts it on the deck. brunson, connects! >> what a night. brunson, 38 points, 9 rebounds the knicks go on to win it in the garden, 112-103. the heat, though, by the way, still lead that series, 3 games to 2 and let's go out west. golden state warriors also avoided a playoff exit after a lopsided win over the lakers, 121-106. steph curry with 27 points the lakers do have that 3-2 series lead, but the next game is tomorrow night. getting exciting >> keeping it interesting! i like it. just ahead, our first look at beyonce's new tour and my big fat greek wedding's next adventure.

learn how ababbvie could help you save. back at 8:12 your health and it's close to home our respondent and friend morgan chesky is with us after a recent hiking trip that ended with a trip in the icu. a potentially fatal condition that can affect anybody at high altitudes. morgan, first of all, can we just say how happy we are that you're sitting on this couch that must have been terrifying >> it absolutely was good to see both of you. i don't think i've ever meant that more. it was super terrifying. first time in an ambulance, first time in icu after a diagnose that after hiking my entire life, i've never even heard of once. high altitude pulmonary edema or hape, and fortunately for me, i had a lot of help catching it in time >> hitting a trail, preferably in mountains, has been a favorite pastime forever

which is why i could have never imagined a trip to bryce canyon in zion park would end here in oxygen in icu. >> i guess you could call this my first hike since the trip >> let's don't go that far i would call this a stroll >> reporter: my uncle, eric, part of the tight-knit crew converging to hike utah's finest we hit bryce day one, trails topping 8,000 feet i've hiked higher before, but this time started feeling off. >> you were moving just a little slower, so that's why i continued to watch you like a hawk >> reporter: the next day at zion was worse pictures hiding how lightheaded and weak i felt, with a pulse that was skyrocketing. >> i'm having to stop every 50 yards just to catch my breath. >> or a lot less than that it brought me back 22 years ago when we were in breckenridge with your dad and he had almost the exact same symptoms.

>> reporter: symptoms that days later led to losing my dad to a heart attack at just 48 from a blocked artery knowing i was in trouble, but not exactly why, uncle eric grabbed my pack. >> you're 100% maxed you're done. it was a miracle that you go out. >> reporter: the next miracle, making to it cedar city hospital after helping me off the trail, uncle eric drove me to a clinic an hour away they called an ambulance when my oxygen levels came back half of what they should be. >> your ct scan looked like it came from the textbook >> reporter: dr. jared greg raced me in for tests, finding my lungs filling with fluid. he diagnosed me with h.a.p.e. or high altitude pulmonary edema. a respiratory condition that typically strikes those who are sent rapidly to elevations topping 8,000 feet >> all of your capillaries in your lungs started leaking and so it's harder for oxygen to go across >> reporter: if untreated, doc told me you would either pass out from lack of oxygen or go

into cardiac arrest. in february, that's exactly what happened to 58-year-old john magnus, an accomplished hiker who climbed argentina's mountain topping 22,000 feet. but hours later, his family says he passed away from h.a.p.e.-induced cardiac arrest. >> he was a very physically fit person >> reporter: his family now speaking out to share a warning for others >> it can happen to anyone plan ahead and be prepared, as best as you can for emergency scenarios. >> reporter: as for me, quality care and lower elevation did wonders. not to mention a guy who made sure i was going to make it back home >> much love for having my back out there. >> you know, i love you like my son. and -- >> i know, man appreciate you, brother.

>> everyone needs an uncle eric! >> and a guardian angel. which i think you have how are you feeling now? only been a couple of weeks?f >> feeling a lot better. definitely sticking away from doing anything strenuous tried to go on a jog today, told myself very quickly, let's slow things down a little bit doctors tell me within about a couple of weeks, my lungs will have fully healed. but definitely going to take it slow and steady going forward. the most frustrating part was knowing you're physically able to do something, and your body not allowing you to do that. >> we're going to get to dr. john in a second but what struck me about your condition, too, was you know, we have all used those oxygen meters with covid to see what your blood oxygen is, 98 to 100 is what it was supposed to be. yours was 58 >> that's when it became incredibly real. in fact, the nurse who put it on said, there must be something wrong here uncle says, no, no, trust that, because they tested it a second time, it was 60. and that's when they made the call to have the ambulance come. and for me personally, you know, i think it really sunk in, because i had been trying to just push it a little bit. you know, taking over-the-counter medication,

telling myself, i just need a good night's sleep but every day just got a little worse. and thank god we went there when we did >> dr. john, morgan's a hiker. >> physically fit and young. >> i like to think >> and the man in this story was an accomplished hiker as well. presumably they've been on high peaks before why would suddenly you get an onset of this condition? >> that's the biggest thing about this there's three different things one is acute mountain sickness i see this in colorado all the time, the headache, the nausea, the fatigue people get from being at higher altitude, and life-threatening ones, the high altitude pulmonary edema and high altitude swelling of the brain. which is very, very dangerous. those can happen to anybody anytime. you can be accomplished, somebody who's never gone up there, it doesn't matter it has to do with acclimization and your own body, your genetic profile. you can't do who is it going to affect >> so you're a big hiker, does that mean you're not going to do

hikes anymore, because maybe >> great question. i did tetons in wyoming, knew i was going to be going above 10,000 feet and i took a medication that can help, because we were not going above 10 on this trip, i thought i was going to be just fine. >> the wyoming trip was before this happened. >> correct, a couple of years before i'm thinking, because i'm not going above 10, i'll be okay and the doctor said, where'd you come from? dallas to utah, and then i'm hiking at 9,000 feet within 24 hours of arriving. he says, that's a major red flag >> that's interesting. and i think you were kind of just saying. it's not just how high you go, it's how quickly you go. >> and we have a saying in the climbing community, you want to climb high, but sleep low. because that sleeping at night is when your body acclimates the most if you climb high and sleep high, your body doesn't have time to acclimate. what we tell people, if you go on a hike during the day, that night, go down much lower and

your body can acclimate and build your way up there. the medicine you talked about is a great thing. going forward, you should be taking that with you, only because you never know when this is going to strike again you are more susceptible to it, unfortunately. >> doc, i'm curious, i've always been a mountain guy, if and when i go back, how can i keep this from happening again but most importantly, because this has happened once, am i more likely to have h.a.p.e. strike >> you are more likely it puts you in a category of being more at risk of getting this in the future acclimating is important, climb high, sleep low. taking that medication, something that you take with you, a great medicine for prevention if you need it. and just going slowly. the problem, is you have the same story that's very typical i was climbing high, i felt exhausted. i thought it was because i was exerting myself, but it's not. >> a cautionary tale >> we've got dylan around the corner, because, you've got a baby on the way. and we want to make sure you're well taken care of >> congratulations >> this is fantastic thank you so much. >> you're expecting a little girl when? >> eleanor may is due on may

22nd >> olivia is very excited. she's watching right now i haven't officially met eleanor, but i'm told she can recognize my voice so all i'll say, if you can please wait for dad to come home before introducing yourself to the world, we can all appreciate it >> can't you crowbar the name eric somewhere in that name. i think your uncle needs a little extra >> lots of love for little eric. >> oh, erica >> erica >> thank you we're happy you're here. let's go over to miss dylan and get another check of the weather. >> hey now i'm over here. we do have a good amount of sunshine expected for the northeast. it's actually going to help warm us up quite a bit, back through the great lakes, too enjoy temperatures about 10 to 15 degrees above average and look at this, tomorrow, we're going to see high temperatures in the mid-to-upper 80s and stays beautiful going into the weekend. good thursday morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. it's going to be nice today,

his guests, and his children at 26, sam bell began running blackberry farm, a property owned by his parents once he turned that resort into a world-renowned culinary destination, he set his eye to the mountains. >> he loved getting out and exploring. he loved to hike i mean, blackberry mountain, he hiked and biked every inch of it he loved blazing a trail he was kind of fearless. >> when sam died in a tragic ski accident in 2016, he left his wife with five children, 5,200 acres of uncharted land and a dream. >> there was just immediate talking of like, how are we going to do this and so i found myself over those days, over and over just saying, i know we're going to be okay. >> reporter: the bell family decided mary celeste should be the one to bring sam's dream to fruition and she did just that >> that also must have been slightly daunting. i mean, you have five children you were very young. you were in your 30s

were you scared? >> i wasn't scared it was really so healing to have to get up and get dressed and show up somewhere and i wasn't always on time still, i'm not very good at that but you have adult conversations and not be dwelling on what we're losing, but the other thing that was so amazing is that it was such a connection to sam. >> reporter: seven years later, mary celeste oversees 1,200 employees and is involved in the day-to-day business of both blackberry farm and blackberry mountain, all while raising her children who range in age from 10 years old to 25 years old >> what would they say about their dad? >> they would say that he loved them, that he was committed and passionate about things he loved. but i think they would say that they miss him.

and they wish he was here. but they know how special it was to have him for the time they did. >> and they appreciate that. >> yeah. >> with blackberry mountain thriving, mary celeste has a new goal to change the conversation around grief >> loss is universal and there's no universal conversation about it >> you say that there is hope after healing. there is some beautiful light that comes >> well, i think that difficult times give you perspective and there is hope. and you just have to appreciate every day. >> a guest actually gave you a really important book that i know has been sort of a safe haven for you. and then you gave one to me when i lost my grandparent who you knew i loved >> reporter: the book is called "healing after loss" by martha hickman. >> even if i could, i will not

forget my pain i will honor it. it is part of who i am >> do you feel that way about your pain, too >> i feel so fortunate to have lived the life that i've lived and loving someone so much that you miss them so much is a gift. but i also think that at some point, you have to let go. and so i am letting go of my pain i want to celebrate what i had and i also want to live on >> isn't she -- she's remarkable >> she's remarkable. >> that's incredible >> and lessons learned -- she says, you know, there isn't a conversation like, we're scared to cry, we're scared to grieve she would always tell her kids, cry. that means you loved him, that means you miss him, and that's okay and i think that she will be focused in the next couple of years in working on a national conversation around grief. >> we were just talking about moms and what they show, not tell imagine the life lessons that she's shown to her five kids >> she stood up at his funeral and said, she may want to talk

she didn't know, but she stood up and was just called to speak and gave a eulogy and her father-in-law when they walked out said, mary celeste, i think you need to run these properties she said, it's the job that she never wanted, but she's doing it beautifully. she built it all on her own. >> sell a few copies of that book i could use that after my parents died when you're grieving, you need something to turn to, like daily meditations or something >> she just gave that to me with a beautiful note and said, it's okay and i'll pass it on to you >> thank you >> jenna, thank you. a beautiful piece. coming up next, guys, this is the ultimate turn, steals and deals time we cover all the bases on "today" from tears to a great summer vacation packed, essentials list, steals and deals straight ahead but first, this is "today" on
