Angelica Malkus ~ Brunswick, Ohio Angelica is 10 and has just undgone open hear surgery.  To learn more about her please visit her care pages http://www.carepages.com/carepages/angelglory444. "On April 19, 1999 our third child, Angelica, was born. Eight hours after she was born the doctors discovered that she was born with a severe heart defect, Tetrology of Fallot with pulmonary atresia. We were to find that this was a four part heart defect which included a large hole between her ventricles, and one undeveloped pulmonary artery. She had no blood flow to the lungs. Her first heart surgery was done at one day old when she weighed only 5 pounds. The surgeon went in through her right side under her arm. He put in a 3mm diameter shunt to allow the blood from her heart to flow to her lungs.”

Meet Bronson - Jen used to Babysit Bronson's dad Brent years ago. 

The below link is the testimony that Tricia and Brent were asked to do for our church about their lives with Bronson.   This video was played during a packed out church service.  They had many applause afterwards.  All of our lives have changed since his birth but he is truly a special gift from God that we are glad to have J

 

The strength that Tricia and Brent have should encourage each and every one of us.  I hope that this video brings you as much joy as it has brought others.
