Pope Leo XIV declared the 2007 recovery of an ailing premature baby at a Rhode Island hospital a miracle, crediting a physician’s prayer with saving the baby’s life, the Vatican announced.

Little Tyquan Hall, who was born via emergency cesarean section, suffered from oxygen deprivation, was pale, cyanotic, and barely had a pulse — and doctors did not expect him to survive, according to the Diocese of Almeria.

In a desperate plea, attending physician Dr. Juan Sanchez, a native of Huercal-Overa, Spain, prayed for the miraculous intercession of the region’s patron, 19th century Father Valera Parra, WJAR reported.

A few minutes after the faithful prayer the child’s heart began to beat normally without medical intervention.

Despite the scientifically inexplicable recovery, Tyquan was expected to have serious neurological damage due to the severe lack of oxygen in his first hours of his life.
