The room where Mother Teresa died

Some of Mother Teresa's "Almost" Miracles Mother Teresa did have two actual miracles happen after her passing. There were also two other incidence were some say that it was a miracle from Mother Teresa. The only reason that they are not considered real miracles, is because they did not meet the church guidelines. The first one happened to a french girl who had broken ribs from a car accident. She had touched a medallion that was from Mother Teresa, and her ribs ended up healing. It wasn't really considered a miracle because her ribs didn't heal faster, not causing to much of a difference from healing by it's self. The other "miracle" happened in Palestine were a girl had recovered from bone cancer after having seen Mother Teresa in a dream. The only stopping this from becoming a miracle is that the church must see that the recovery is permanent.
