MRI results

Today we finally got the results of Dave's MRI, which apparently did not show much. The good news is that this means that it didn't show any specific trauma or damage. The bad news is that the MRI also was unable to give us anything very specific. It's not like the MRI is able to say "He'll be fine after a month of rehab." So the doctor seemed a bit more encouraged. He also thought Dave might be showing more purposeful movement, but it's tough to really say, since most of the day, he was on sedation, which tends to reduce most of his movements. 

There was also additional concern about whatever infection he might have. His temperature was up for most of the day, and the doctors were worried enough about his condition that they upgraded the sterile precautions that we were supposed to observe from "wash hands before touching him" to "put on rubber gloves before touching him." So he's still in a very fragile condition. At least this way, Peter is less tempted to pencil goatees and Harry Potter glasses onto Dave while he's sleeping.
