We had some encouraging news today! An MRI was performed on Scott last evening. It showed no spinal cord damage at all, which is wonderful. Scott had bruised his frontal lobes in his brain in the accident, and the MRI showed no dead or decay tissue from the bruising. It is still going to be a long haul for Scott and his family. The swelling in the brain is being stubborn, like Scott, and is not decreasing yet. As soon as the swelling decreases, then surgery can take place to fuse his neck, and to replace his skull. What a great present for Scott's birthday!
