England-Miracle Brain Operation Baby has seven operations





SkyNews reports
A two-week-old baby girl is thought to have become the world's youngest patient to undergo brain tumour surgery...Madison Quartarone was born with the large benign tumour in her head.

She was taken to London's Great Ormond Street Hospital when she was just one week old.

And after seven operations, she was allowed home to spend Christmas with her parents in Bedford...
Doctors said if left untreated, the tumour would have killed Madison within a few weeks.

This is sad and wonderful, this little child could get so many operations and be home with the family for Christmas.

There's something about "miracle" and "seven operations" that seems a bit odd to me.
