Facing the Fear of Losing a Child

After years trying to start a family, Mark and his wife Angela were deflated, and wondering if it was going to happen for them. When they finally conceived, it felt like everything was going right — until a routine scan revealed their unborn son Hudson, had a serious heart condition.
