"THE WORD 'MIRACLE' IS CONSTANTLY USED BY HER DOCTORS..."
July 19, 1982
Dear Veronica,
     On February 9th of this year my daughter was taken to the hospital with what was thought to be pneumonia. It turned out to be a very severe case of Lupus. The doctors said it was like a forest fire raging out of control. Never had they seen such a bad case. Her chances were very slim. They went down a whole list of treatments usually used and none of them really did much. She lost her kidney function and suffered seizures. It looked hopeless, and we were told to prepare ourselves.
     We all prayed constantly for her recovery. She had a rosary from Bayside and she said it daily. She wore the Our Lady of the Roses medal and scapular and used rose petals. She held on, but didn't really get better, always worse.
     At this point, on the eve of the feast of St. Joseph, I went to a vigil to place a petition before Our Lady personally. It hurt to leave her so desperately ill, but I felt perhaps I had to prove my faith. We prayed for her on the bus and she was constantly on my mind.
     The next day she got much worse and her chances for survival were even more slim. We were told to prepare ourselves, as not a doctor or nurse expected her to survive--not just the disease but the treatment as well.
     We prayed constantly, and on the day I received my petition back from Bayside she started to improve. With no kidney function to speak of she had to have dialysis three times a week. On the day the petition came back, she was supposed to have dialysis, but it was cancelled and she never had it again. The word "miracle" is used constantly by her doctors and her nurses as well.
     She recently had a kidney biopsy at a medical center and they too call it a miracle--not only that she survived but keeps improving. She has very little kidney damage they tell us, and we are hopeful she will obtain a remission of the disease.
     I ask the blessings of Jesus and Our Lady on the kind people who prayed constantly to St. Theresa, St. Jude, and St. Joseph for her recovery and still do.

Most sincerely,

N.P.
from Dupont, Pennsylvania
