MRI results

Late last night we got some preliminary results back from the MRI scan. The scan confirmed there is damage to Doug's cerebellum and also showed some damage to the temporal lobe. However the brain stem is "largely unaffected". This is good news, as we had feared that there was brain-stem damage given last week's diagnosis of locked-in syndrome. It has left the doctors puzzled as to why Doug is still locked-in however. We will have to wait until Tuesday for a review by the specialist neuro team.
