    First I want to give the glory and honor to Jesus for all he has done. St. Gerard has been there for me and my baby since the moment she was concieved. During my pregancy I found out that my baby girl would be born with a heart defect. St. Gerard helped me along the way to cope with this situation. He would always send me a sign that he was there with me and my baby through dreams or he would reveal himself in her ultrasounds. One of the pictures was verifed by a St Gerard parish in NJ. She was born without any complications, but still needed the surgey. She had 3 open heart surgeries. My family and I Prayed and prayed to St Gerard and he never left our side. Our little miracle baby has progressed soooo much and she is doing really well. Outside looking in you would never know what she has been through. God is awesome!!! Our baby girl is a walking testimony and i'm sure God will use her to help others. The power of Faith and Prayer. Never give up. With God all things are possible.
