Found out yesterday a friend's HEALTHY 27yo daughter was in ICU with a stroke. Apparently the doctors (in NYC) couldn't figure out how this could happen. They ultimately determined her blood clotted in an artery in her neck due to arterial trauma. Since she is not an extreme sports fanatic or NFL athlete, they didn't understand the "trauma" part. The medical decision was "she sneezed so violently that she caused trauma". Young, healthy people can't even sneeze anymore. Gives new meaning to "God Bless You". Later that afternoon my husband's co-worker walked to the parking lot and just dropped. They had the video on a garage camera. She went to her knees, slumped on the floor and just died.

How great is Your goodness,

Which You have stored up for those who fear You,

Which You have wrought for those who take refuge in You,

Before the sons of men!

You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of man;

You keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues.

Blessed be the Lord,

For He has made marvelous His lovingkindness to me in a besieged city.

— Psalm 31:19-21 NASB1995
