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

Large MCA infarct can cause these symptoms. Since now the pathology has been taken care of, it will take him sometime to recover. Continue rehabilitation and treat the cause that led to stroke.
Start physiotherapy.
