What Are The Chances Of Getting Speach Back After Severe Head Injury?

Hi sir, I am bharath from bangalore. My brother named Sunil has met with an accident last month June 5th. He has been admitted into SHALBY Hospital ahmedabad since then. His forehead got damaged internally, he went to serious state. Now his condition is stable. He is not able to speak still, and still it will take long time to recover the internal head injury. Sir I would like to ask few questions related to his situation. From Last two days only he has started eating food. Will he be able speak? Will he be able to recognise and back to his normal life?

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.com. Sorry to hear about your brother. Please know that it is really hard to tell, two different people can have the same injury and gain different functions at different rates. The best hope for him is for him to have the appropriate physical rehab and therapy for his condition. I have seen speech come back after intense speech therapy, also a rule of thumb is that the longer the days pass without regaining whatever function it is you inquire about, the less chance that this will get better. I hope and pray that he does well, but don't lose hope as his individual drive and vigor after the injury will go a long way into his healing as will all your support for him. I hope this helps and best of luck.
