Hi Brown_Kelly, I am sorry to hear about your brother's stroke :(  While we are not doctors, we can provide support and we are hear to listen.. but we can't give out any prognosis on conditions, I'm sorry.

Perhaps you can work to communicate with your brother with his eyes?  If he is having a heard time talking, perhaps you can ask him to blink once for yes and twice for no and see if you can get to the bottom of what he is trying to say by asking him questions.

The doctors should be able to tell you what the prognosis is, are they telling you anything?
