22. Why don't you contact Skinner
& ask that "miracle" be put on the DU no-no list? :eyes:

Of all the things to whine about---what grieving people chose to call what happened to their granddaughter!

And, btw, the "miracle" was that the child lived for 1 hour without functioning lungs, not that God "made" her polycystic. Try holding your breath for as long as you can. I doubt it will even come close to 60 minutes.
