I'm really worried because the right side is paralyzed, and we found out there's a clot in the left part of the brain from an MRI. They mentioned there's a blocked artery to the left brain. Could you explain what this means and what steps we should take next? Is there a way to improve the situation, and how serious is this condition?

The MRI shows a clot in the left side of the brain, which is affecting the right side of the body, causing paralysis. Additionally, one of the arteries supplying blood to the left brain is blocked, which could be contributing to the condition.
