Its a left sided infarct and since you mentioned craniectomy was done that means it was pretty big and causing significant pressure in brain, such patients take pretty long to recover sometimes they may be the same as he is as of now
Next Steps
Physiotherapy Tracheostomy suctioning Good feeds through ryle’s tube
