Can Severe Stroke Paralysis Condition Be Treated?

My brother had a severe stroke caused by the carotid artery rupture in his neck. It has been two weeks since this happen and the doctors have crowned him, have put a drain in his brain and giving him alot of other medicines to help bring down the brain swelling. As of today they told us that his brain is not showing any signs of improvement and the whole left side is dead and advised us that we need to think about a place that can look after him daily because his chances of taking care of himself are very slim, but before they sedated him into a induced coma and cooled his body about a week and a half ago, he was moving his left side and still recognized who we were and everything. Just last week the pintched his ride side and he reacted to it on his toes and arm. What are the chances of him coming out of this and being ok?
