Helen's Brain

There are more nerve connections in the brain as there are stars in the sky. Think about that. Trillions or more. When a nerve cell or group of nerve cells loses its blood supply to a mini-stroke it not only affects those cells, but the cells connected to those cells and the cells connected to those

cells.

Fortunately, other brain cells "know" this and are able to modify themselves to do the job the now dead cells were doing. In Helen, at present, this takes 2-3 days, on average. And so 2-3 days after Friday's mini-stroke she was back to her old self again. Will she suffer a massive stroke? Who knows? Nobody knows except God, and He's not tellin.' But for now it's good to have Helen "back." R.
