So is this a miracle, or answer to prayer (not necessarily yours)?

In the Bruce Almighty sense of miracle, then it's a miracle:

"Parting your soup is not a miracle, Bruce, it's a magic trick. A single mom who's working two jobs, and still finds time to take her kid to soccer practice, that's a miracle. A teenager who says no to drugs and yes to an education, that's a miracle. People want Me to do everything for them, but what they don't realize is, they have the power. You want to see a miracle, son? Be the miracle."

Excuse me, I'm off to do another 1.5 hours of eliptical hill climb... ;-)

PS I admit that my five year old has been saying "We hope Daddy gets better" quite a lot. A form of prayer. He has this idea that I'm sick, since he and Mommy made special "Daddy" bannana bread instead of the usual kind (apple suace in place of shortening). Plus, I've not been claiming the "Daddy Tax" from his candy stash...
