Special to Forum News Service Julie Buntjer / Forum News Service 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.
