EEG scan - nerves

Dad had an EEG scan this week. This was a scan of the Brachial Plexus - a junction point of many nerves near the shoulder. The very initial look at the scan appears to show that the nerves from the spine are not damaged as much as first thought, although its still pretty much a mess. So there may be some hope of upper arm function.

As for the lower arm, it appears there are no funtioning nerves. Of course that basically means no use of the hand or wrist.

This is of course only an initial look at the scan. A much more in depth discussion will be had early September with the docs, surgeons and rehab people. Wait and see what outcome they can report.
