Great Regulars: "They operated," Ruby says, her mouth quivering.

"They operated, but a piece of her brain came away with the blood clot. That sounds bad, I know, but Dad says the doctors don't know how serious, in fact, because they know very little about the brain, even in this day and age; that's one of the strange things. They don't understand what this bit of the brain does, or did rather, this missing piece. It might not be that important."
