This sounds very serious and must be very difficult. I'm sorry for you and him. Unfortunately, nobody without very detailed knowledge of the situation can answer this. You need to discuss this with his doctors. Good luck.

Following a severe traumatic brain injury, once healing starts, the process will slowly improve over 12-18 months, with maximal recovery by 24 months. The degree of recovery is uncertain, but rehab tools such as speech therapy, OT and PT can play a very affirmative role. An EEG may help assess the current brain status. Discuss all of this with his doctors.
