No, it wasn't Santa Claus who performed a Christmas miracle for Laura Montero, 14, of downstate Illinois. She was suffering from appendicitis, and sailors from the USS Ronald Reagan--which was 550 miles away at the time--traveled by helicopter to the cruise ship, and brought her back to the aircraft carrier named for another child of rural Illinois. Montero was treated on the Reagan, and is expected to make a full recovery.
She's convalescing at a San Diego hospital, and is expected to be home by Christmas.
H/T to Third Wave Dave for the story.
