Could you also address my contention that its impossible to
credit the particular prayer in the article as being the one that resulted in the healing?

Sure: You can't prove it.

"Evidence" is the true objective state of things while "proof" is mental assent of a subjective entity to the evidence in question. All the corrolations in the world could be presented before a person and it wouldn't "prove" anything. As this deals with an act of God through a person, both said to exist outside of our epistemological realm, it is an act of faith and cannot be anything but an act of faith.
