How is the old gal doing?
If you use selection bias, and sharpshooter fallacies, then prayer always will "work", just remember to shrug and point out its all part of god's mysterious plan, when things go awry.
I remember an apologist saying that god answers every prayer, then blithely, but seriously explaining he (god) doesn't always answer yes.
You can't dent a rationale like that.
