We knew Penelope was born with a congenital heart defect and we knew she would have open heart surgery. What we didn’t know was that this meant she’d also need blood to operate her bypass machine. We had no idea that our biggest concern was not that her heart was going to be stopped for 5 hours – that was in God’s hands. It was the blood that would be pumping through her tiny body wasn’t going to be hers. For a family that’s powerfully rooted in faith, the only way we knew how to protect her was by finding blood donors that lived the same way of life we did. BBHB and their team turned our greatest fear into an answered prayer. Our daughter recovered from open heart surgery in 6 days and was sent home. God has his hand on her and her BBHB team through the entire process. They saved her life.
