This seems like an unusual case but it is fundamental to all Abrahamic religions (the clue is in the name). Many years ago I visited Jerusalem. It is a strange city for an atheist, a convention centre for all monastic faiths, here is what struck me. Right in the middle is the dome of the rock. It is where Muslims believe that Abraham offered Isaac god. Now I have heard that you are nobody in Chicago until you have had someone "rubbed out". Well, you are nobody in Jerusalem until you have put a kid on an altar. Every single religion in the multitude that calls that city home has sacrificed a child in one way or another.

And therefore the child should be Worshipped and Adored as being Touched by Gawd, right?
Oh, wait.........

By her own definition, so is talent, imagination, creativity, and the ability to use it. If her "god" gave the child the illness by her definition her "god" also gave them the medicine to control it.

Her defense holds no water.

That's a pretty shaky defense, since there is no evidence that God exists, and in all likelihood does not exist. And disease would be a very strange kind of gift for a child.
