WORTHINGTON, Minn. Jenalee Mahoney was 20 weeks pregnant when, during her ultrasound appointment, a heart irregularity was discovered in the baby girl growing inside her.
The news sent Jenalee and her husband, Patrick to Sioux Falls, S.D., for further testing. Learning their God-given gift had a heart imperfection was devastating even more so when they were told she had Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. The diagnosis meant her left chamber of the heart didn’t properly develop and she would need open heart surgery soon after birth.

It was an incredibly difficult year in so many ways. But it would have been even more difficult if there hadn’t been music to help us get through it all.
Music was a constant source of encouragement and escape, in a year when we badly needed both. Sure, the concert industry basically closed up shop back in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but there were still albums, videos, singles and the newest star of the show live-streamed events to enjoy.
