Traumatic Brain Injury

My brother is 38 years old and on August 1st he had a aneurysm burst and a stroke and an arachnoid? hematoma. He has Left fronatal brain damage.He is now an invalid I guess. We never get answers. He came home with a trachea,feeding tube, and catheter.

He has began to become violent at night now. He tries to pull out his trachea and feeding tube, and has taken out cath. He has responded to queastion occasionally. He doesn’t want to talk but he will answer questions if you call him on the phone. I wish someone could tell me that he will walk and talk and eat again but we always hear it takes time. My mother cares for him 24-7 and will always. He does not have insurance so he only gets therapy 3 times a week for 15 minutes.

I guess my question is does anyone know of someone who has recovered from severe traumatic brain injury.
