"Her prayers weren't answered. "
That is only if you presume to know whether G-d has decided the only possible answer to a prayer is yes.
Fine. Defend God's decision to tell Jessica no (or perhaps he answered with a "maybe"). I have no idea why you'd want to do that, but help yourself.
It also doesn't explain why God has never answered the prayer of an amputee to rebuild a limb, when he has been given credit for healing cancer and whatnot.
