Being able to pass that on to my kids\u2014I feel like it\u2019s easier, in some cases. My five-year-old gets it \/ my three-year-old gets it in ways that I know other families don\u2019t. That\u2019s something that my husband and I have chosen to be thankful for. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>17:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>I\u2019m just thinking of a lot of moms who, with the challenges you\u2019ve faced, would say: \u201cYou know what?\u00a0 We\u2019ve got bigger things to worry about than trying to drive to Grandma\u2019s house for Thanksgiving or trying to build family traditions. We\u2019re in a battle for life and death with a three-year-old.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy: <\/strong>I think that\u2019s all the more reason my husband and I have chosen to live our lives this way\u2014is to enjoy every day. We don\u2019t know how many more days we have, as a family, in this way. We have these days to teach Annie what we need to teach her, and it is important to pass on our faith. These are the situations that allow multiple generations to pass on our family\u2019s faith to Annie and to Audrey. It\u2019s worth it to us to invest and to honor each of those generations in our family. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>So, Tracy, I\u2019m still way back at the beginning of this little conversation here. How does half a heart work?\u00a0 I mean, a three-year-old\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014I get it that she is small\u2014but half a heart as in only one-half?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy: <\/strong>Right. When I was pregnant with Annie, we went in for what I thought was a gender ultrasound. I didn\u2019t even know they looked at anything else. I was just hoping we were having another girl; and they said, \u201cIt is another girl, but something is wrong with her heart.\u201d\u00a0 We went on to find out that the left side of her heart was never formed, and it continued to never form. She was born with only the right side of her heart. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe best answer I can give is: \u201cGod has sustained her.\u201d\u00a0 She\u2019s had three open-heart surgeries, where they\u2019ve been able to reroute the way that her heart works; but God has given surgeons these ideas, and we\u2019re very thankful that Annie\u2019s at the table with us at Thanksgiving. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I remember when that happened\u2014the entire FamilyLife team prayed for you, and your husband, and little Annie. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy: <\/strong>Yes; yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>What are doctors saying is the prognosis?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy: <\/strong>You know, it\u2019s interesting because doctors have said, \u201cIf it was me, who was born that way, I wouldn\u2019t be here.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>19:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe oldest person living, with Annie\u2019s condition, is 30. So, we don\u2019t really know what her prognosis is. In fact, she\u2019s actually outlived every prognosis she\u2019s ever been given; so, we don\u2019t always lean into fully what the doctors say. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI thin, for our family, the prognosis is faith and hope; and we know that whether her healing happens on this side of eternity or the other, there is hope for Annie\u2019s life. There is an eternal impact she\u2019s had in the three years that she\u2019s been here, and we really are thankful for every day that we get. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>And meanwhile, you just continue to give thanks. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy: <\/strong>Yes; we say that: \u201cWe enjoy today.

I pray that in these years ahead that more procedures would be created. You are the Creator of the universe. You know all things. May You guide researchers and doctors to create new ways to extend the lives of these children, who are born like Annie with half a heart. We look forward to what You have for her in the future, and for the ways that You are already using her, and the ways that You will use her in the years to come. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThank You for giving her to Matt and Tracy and to all of us that we might be more grateful people.

When we go to my mother\u2019s for Thanksgiving\u2014the farm where she grew up\u2014we can\u2019t all fit around one table\u2014the rooms are too small \/ the tables are too small. We may have as many as four or five tables scattered around the house for the 30 or 40 of us that get together; but each one, then, becomes a little unit \/ a little community of conversation. We do sit there for a long time and talk, and reminisce, and talk about things that matter. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Why so much effort and energy on a table?\u00a0 Is this a Martha Stewart thing?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>No; it\u2019s actually a Jesus thing. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Ah. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>One of the things that\u2019s really interesting about Scripture is that you will see that, throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament, there\u2019s a lot of emphasis of God bringing His people together around meals. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>14:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIn the Old Testament, it\u2019s the Passover. The Passover meal was a <em>really<\/em> important occasion\u2014they gathered for that meal, year after year after year; and they still do. In the New Testament, Jesus taught us to gather at the table to remember Him. We think of that as communion\u2014we call that communion. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, there is something about gathering together at tables that\u2019s very meaningful; and Jesus did that often with His disciples. His most important last teaching to His disciples was around the table in the upper room at the Last Supper. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>I\u2019m guessing it was not a highly-decorated table\u2014\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>I\u2019m guessing it wasn\u2019t. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014it was a rented room.

I change my expectations a little bit.

We don\u2019t know how many more days we have, as a family, in this way. We have these days to teach Annie what we need to teach her, and it is important to pass on our faith. These are the situations that allow multiple generations to pass on our family\u2019s faith to Annie and to Audrey. It\u2019s worth it to us to invest and to honor each of those generations in our family. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>So, Tracy, I\u2019m still way back at the beginning of this little conversation here. How does half a heart work?\u00a0 I mean, a three-year-old\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014I get it that she is small\u2014but half a heart as in only one-half?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy: <\/strong>Right. When I was pregnant with Annie, we went in for what I thought was a gender ultrasound. I didn\u2019t even know they looked at anything else. I was just hoping we were having another girl; and they said, \u201cIt is another girl, but something is wrong with her heart.\u201d\u00a0 We went on to find out that the left side of her heart was never formed, and it continued to never form. She was born with only the right side of her heart. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe best answer I can give is: \u201cGod has sustained her.\u201d\u00a0 She\u2019s had three open-heart surgeries, where they\u2019ve been able to reroute the way that her heart works; but God has given surgeons these ideas, and we\u2019re very thankful that Annie\u2019s at the table with us at Thanksgiving. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I remember when that happened\u2014the entire FamilyLife team prayed for you, and your husband, and little Annie. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy: <\/strong>Yes; yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>What are doctors saying is the prognosis?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy: <\/strong>You know, it\u2019s interesting because doctors have said, \u201cIf it was me, who was born that way, I wouldn\u2019t be here.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>19:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe oldest person living, with Annie\u2019s condition, is 30. So, we don\u2019t really know what her prognosis is. In fact, she\u2019s actually outlived every prognosis she\u2019s ever been given; so, we don\u2019t always lean into fully what the doctors say. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI thin, for our family, the prognosis is faith and hope; and we know that whether her healing happens on this side of eternity or the other, there is hope for Annie\u2019s life. There is an eternal impact she\u2019s had in the three years that she\u2019s been here, and we really are thankful for every day that we get. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>And meanwhile, you just continue to give thanks. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracy: <\/strong>Yes; we say that: \u201cWe enjoy today.

May You guide researchers and doctors to create new ways to extend the lives of these children, who are born like Annie with half a heart.
