Hi!
Recovery from stroke depends on how soon the blood vessel could be opened by thrombolysis and if at all it can be opened. The area and severity of infarct, the severity of underlying condition and general condition of the patient also govern recovery process.
If your son is otherwise stable and is able to comprehend what you all say to him, and there is no major lasting damage, then he should recover substantially.
Fours days post stroke is too early to predict anything. Give him some time and be in touch with his neurologist and therapist. With time, I am quite hopeful he will progress, unless there are some complications you are not aware of.  Previous meningitis fro which he recovered without any residual neurological deficit is unlikely to cause any problem this time.  Please discuss with your doctor. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
