Prayers answered! Update on Aine, the little girl with the aggressive skin cancer.

What good news arrived in my e-mail this morning for little Aine. As you can read from the following update from her mother, the prognosis is certainly a lot more hopeful than last week. Thank you all for the prayers you offered for this little girl and her family! ~ Barbara

Hello all,

We are so amazed and humbled by how great our God is.  Not only did the biopsy and skin sample come out negative, but they didn't have to do a skin graph today.  We came to surgery today prepared to do a skin graph, another wound vac for a week and an 80% chance a skin graph would take or we would have to do it all over again next week.  The doctor came out 20 minutes into surgery and said that the wound vac prepared the arm and pulled the tissue so all the surgeon had to do was stitch up the skin and be done with it.  We are home and Aine is doing great.

We talked to the surgeon who did the biopsy and four different doctors who all looked at the pathology report and were in the operating room for her surgery.  It was not a matter of whether or not the cancer would be in the lymph nodes, they were wondering how to tell us that it was in the lymph nodes.  The lymph nodes were larger than expected and they were 98% sure it was there given the size of the nodes, the stage of the cells and the alarming depth of the tissue.  They told us that it was a miracle that she has no cancer and doesn't need a skin graph.

Only God through Mary, St. Peregrine and everybody's prayers did this.  We feel better than if we had won the lottery.  How Great is our God!!!!  Thanks to everyone for your prayers.  It works.
