Amazing. But I hope that animal control doesn't have to intervene if she bites someone. :-)

Given the pathobiology of rabies, I think this article is a testament to the power of prayer....not the experimental treatment. It simply can't be done at the stage the article claims the patient had reached - it can only be a miracle.

They keep saying this is the "first." But I'm certain there was another rabies survival story sometime in the last 5-10 years. At that time they said *that* was the first.

Her father, John Giese, said he was grateful to the doctors and their novel treatment, but added that prayer had made the crucial difference.

Perhaps it gave the doctors some inspiriation, but I think most of the credit should go to the doctors and modern medicine.

"Until then, it is a miracle."

It is a miracle, period. Her family and friends will undoubtedly recongize it as such.

"Jeanna, of Fond du Lac, was bitten by a bat at a church service on Sept. 12"
