Not necessarily.: May take up to 18-24 months for full brain healing, and often the outcomes allow normal functioning for the remainder of your life. Injuries vary from person to person, and interval rehabilitation may enhance recovery. Spend time with your doctor and design an approach to maximize your outcomes.

We don't know: You are young, so your brain has time to rebuild connections. People with brain injuries continue to recover for years. It's possible you may have permanent changes, but it's also possible you will recover completely. It depends on what part of your brain was hurt, and the size of the damage. Don't give up. Years from now you will look back and be amazed at your progress!

Likely: The brain has limited if any power to heal injured cells. The young have some ability to rewire their system (a process labeled plasticity) allowing some infants to improve where an older patient might not. As you age and your nervous system gets more linked up, the impact of a brain injury is more likely to be permanent.

Not necessarily: When there is brain bleeding, certain part of the brain is permanently lost. The surrounding brain can be affected by swelling, which causes temporary brain dysfunction. So, the deficits or loss of function early on may eventually improve as the swelling gets better.
