Ball of yarn

We had dinner with our friends, Mark and Suzanne, this week.  Suzanne told us about one of her friends whose small child has been diagnosed with brain cancer.  The cancer was very aggressive and had intertwined itself within a region of the brain like spaghetti.  The surgeon told the parents that he would need to do surgery to biopsy the tumor so that he could determine a plan for treatment, but the outlook was not good.   The mom told one of her friends to pray for the safety of her child during the procedure.  The friend told her that she had prayed that the tumor would "miraculously unwind like a ball of yarn".  After completing the surgery, and with no knowledge of the prayer, the surgeon came in to update the parents on the biopsy.  The surgeon said he had never seen anything like what had happened.  As he was securing the section of the tumor for the biopsy, it seemed loose. He continued to pull on it, and the "tumor unwound like a ball of yarn."  He was able to remove all or most of the tumor during what was supposed to be only a biopsy procedure.  Praise God for making himself known through miracles only He can make happen.
