They end up getting pregnant with a healthy baby against all odds. God answered their prayer. But God already knew ahead of time that this child would come into existence because He already knew that the parents would pray for one and that their prayers would be answered. This child didn't change anything. God already knew the parents would pray and He already knew He would answer those prayers.
Meanwhile, at the fertility clinic...
Doctor: "You're welcome?"
Nurse: "Don't hold your breath; they 'prayed.'"
Doctor: "Ahh, I see. Want to grab a beer?"
Nurse: "Sure, I could use a night of debauchery."
Doctor: "I'll get my hat!"
