Another Iraqi good news story.
Hearts (literally) and minds.
Bless her heart - I saw the pics earlier today of her severe condition, and I just hope we can help her. What a horrible disease.

There was another little Iraqi girl a while ago, with the same condition. Last I read, she was coming along well. I think she was a little older, maybe two years old or so.

/reluctant sarcasm, with VERY REAL prayers for this baby
For the life of me, it seems like there is a Freeper responsible for this good news...anyone??
Oh, here 'tis the good man:

There were some threads a while ago, asking for help to get the little girl over here.
Praying here for baby Tabby and her family, the docs taking care of her, and our military!
I know you'll be hoping the doctors are unsuccessful and this Muslim will die! The only good Muslim is a dead Muslim, right?
