A wonderful film on faith, hope and motherly love when dealing with a family calamity. As the good doctor said in an interview: Ultimately, Nurko said, Miracles is a movie about something he finds important: “being an advocate for your child.” Boston Children’s Hospital treats “the sickest of the sickest,” he said. and “The movie is about realizing that day-to-day miracles happen all around us. … The movie is about hope.” While less skeptical than Janice21383, "miracles" or "anomalies" in "rare" and less understood medical conditions do occur now and then. After all, there are 7.5 billion people living on this planet, 1 in a billion chance affords 7.5 cases. Also, the disease is generally not as dire as portrayed per NIH's information page on "Intestinal Pseudo-obstruction" in "Summary": "This condition can occur in people of any age. Some infants are born with congenital intestinal pseudo-obstruction, and some people develop this condition as adults. Intestinal pseudo-obstruction may be acute, occurring suddenly and lasting a short time, or it may be chronic, or long lasting." Lastly, here is an interesting fact-check article about the people and events (They should have kept the tree stump grounds in situ as a religious site attraction:) http://www.historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/miracles-from-heaven/
