MRI

Doug has been moved to a new room - still in the ICU but now with a window. He had an MRI scan done this afternoon - an involved process as it requires switching him over to portable versions of his life support equipment and wheeling him, his bed and all of the paraphernalia to the scanner. He was put back on sedation for the scan and was still sleeping when we left. We are not likely to hear the results of the scan until tomorrow. They are unlikely to lead to a change to his treatment but they might shed some light on the reason for the initial stroke (which we still don't know) and give an indication of the extent of the brain damage.
