Something the Lord Made

Tyler and I watched a great movie this weekend called "Something the Lord Made." It's about "blue babies" who don't get enough oxygen because their heart formed wrong before birth. In the 40's, babies with heart defects had a 100% mortality rate and doctors said nothing could be done to save them. How sad! Two doctors, Alfred Blalock and Vivien Thomas from Johns Hopkins Hospital, began researching babies with heart defects. Using innovative methods, they performed the very first heart surgery in the world! It was amazing to hear the true story of how these men went against all odds to save babies suffering from heart defects. Their work opened the door to continued medical research and future heart surgeries... and look what doctors can do today! The Lord made a way for Ella's broken heart to be fixed! Thanks for recommending the film, Kyle and Abby!
