A Cincinnati couple says “divine intervention” and prayer are the cause of their sick, infant daughter’s suspected brain tumor vanishing.

Carissa and Matt Hatfield feared their young daughter Paisley was going to die, according to a 9 WCPO report. The report goes on to say the couple was told that doctors discovered a mass near the base of Paisley’s brain and had scheduled a biopsy for the next week.

After calling family and friends for prayer, the parents were suddenly told that the concerning mass was completely gone, leaving even the doctors without explanation for its disappearance.

“He said, ‘Your prayers must have worked, because when I went to get that biopsy,’ Matt Hatfield said, ‘nothing was there.’”

Paisley Hatfield had been struggling with presumed effects of the tumor since she was born. According to the parents, they noticed a droop on Paisley’s left side of her face, causing them to get a medical opinion from doctors at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in Liberty Township.

The hospital also released a statement: “Doctors at Children’s had expected the worst – a malignant tumor. But when surgeons reached the spot where the suspected tumor was visible on the scan, they found nothing. They couldn’t have been happier to tell the good news to the Hatfield family.”

Matt Hatfield, who describes himself as a man of God, said that he believes his family has been blessed by a “true miracle” and “true healing.”
