My nephew was in an accident about 3 years ago. he suffered diffuse axonal. damage was severe. do we have any hope of him continuing to make progress?

Nerves are Axons: Depends where the damage is.The spinal cord has a very poor prognosis. A spinal nerve can regenerate if the sheath is repaired or intact. In a brachial plexus stretch the axons are pulled out at their roots and this is hopeless as well as very painful.
