Miracle baby lives due to the power of prayer

When Paisley Hatfield, daughter of Carissa and Matt Hatfield, was born, her parents noticed that she had a little droop on the left side of her face, reports WCPO Cincinnati. The Hatfields said, "We noticed her eye -- when she would cry, her eye would not shut all the way," Carissa said. "It would stay open, and when she started to smile, the same side of her mouth would not move." They took her to the pediatrician, who suggested getting a scan done, and that it be done very soon. On November 20th, 2015 the Hatfields took their daughter to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center where they found out that she had a malignant tumor. Paisley's parents were very upset.  Her mother said, "It was just so devastating knowing that my three-month-old baby pretty much got her death sentence right there." Paisley's father said, "I was terrified of losing my little girl. I just prayed and prayed."  The doctor's words didn't stop the Hatfields' faith in God; they prayed as much as possible for Paisley to just be alright. The following Monday morning, the Hatfields were told to return to the hospital for Paisley to have a biopsy. The surgeon cut behind Paisley's ear and into her head. The surgery that was expected to take three hours took 30 minutes. The doctor who was performing this dangerous surgery said, "Your prayers must have worked, because when I went in there to biopsy that tumor, nothing was there." He said "I have no explanation. I have never seen this in all my time." Baby Paisley's family describes her as a miracle baby and living proof that God works wonders. Matthew, Paisley's dad, says, "There are so many kids over there at Children's. Don't give up hope. I mean, prayers work. Prayers can be answered. Our baby is a living testimony to that."
