Ali Brock's story will be featured on the A World of Smiles telethon on Sunday May 26, 2013. At four months pregnant Nikki discovered that Ali had Truncus arteriosus. Instead of two vessels coming from her heart she only had one. At five days old, Ali underwent open heart surgery to fix the truncus and a donor vessel was used to pulmonary artery back onto conduit vessels. The donor vessel will continue to need replacing - due to outgrowth. Open heart surgery will need to continue throughout her life.
