Aw, I can't believe how amazing that is!!!! I don't just mean medically, though the medical team must definitely have taken a chance and it I am in a good kind of wonder over this :) and as for it being mainstream, I know there are a lot of hospital soap operas and other kinds of dramas whose plots have medical miracles or breakthroughs. But this 9 year old girl having her hand re-attached just makes me think there's so much good in it. Modern medicine is great, and I think it is especially, and especially to us who haven't learned much of it, appreciated when it smacks you in the face by giving a little girl her hand back after three months of a pretty unique procedure. Sounds like the little sparks of things just working right in fairy tales. Sorry for being mushy. And I don't find it disturbing as some people have said (not on this particular article about it)
