As UCF football coach Gus Malzahn sat in a hospital room around-the-clock for two weeks, he had a lot of time to think and had many conversations with God.
As Kristi, his wife of 34 years, lay there in intensive care for 12 days in January, Gus was there by her side the entire time, wondering, worrying, hoping and praying she would survive.
“There were times I was scared to death I was going to lose her,” Gus says now. “I kept praying and I knew others were praying, too. We were overwhelmed by family, friends and fans who were sending their prayers our way. I believe Kristi is with us today because of the power of prayer and, of course, the doctors and nurses at Orlando Health were amazing.”
