She suffered multiple injuries including a broken arm and leg, a ruptured spleen and liver, fractured ribs, a cracked skull and a brain hemorrhage.Now, I could be wrong, but to me, a "miracle" would have been if the girl slowly floated to the ground and was deposited ever so lovingly, standing, onto the hard floor, completely sound. That's a good miracle!
Of course, she was so severely injured that Doctors didn't think she'd survive the night. Fortunately, she did and, with the help of modern medicine and good care by trained and educated doctors, seven months later she is walking with a walker and is starting school. Great.
But a miracle? If she was walking the next day and her broken limbs and organs were 100% healed, I would definitely call that a miracle. But that's just my "reality-based" standards.
Calling this a miracle is a disservice to all those who took care of this little girl and worked long and hard on her recovery. It's also a disservice to the word "miracle".

My question is, why was she over by the escalator by herself in the first place? Perhaps the "miracle" here is that her mother didn't get her killed years ago.
Let me get this straight… she fell 100 feet, from the second floor? What kind of department store has 100 foot tall floors?
