He has multiple issues now. Need details regarding the current treatment to comment on the prognosis. since he is on ventilator and has already multiple infections , the foremost thing is for him to come out of the ventillator. The improvement in weakness is somthing that you need worry on later. if possible if u can send the mri images and reports along with the treatment currently on, will be able to give u a better picture.
