It would have helped if you had posted the ct report as well. Anyways, any clotting in brain recovers slowly, going by the symptoms you have mentioned, clot must be large in size. Usually only after Day 10 of such event, any possible recovery starts, if everything else is under control. And recovery will not be visible suddenly.
