You are not saying what was the cause for the paralysis. I'm assuming it's a stroke. If that is the case usually most improvements are expected during the first 6 months, given her young age you can expect a better outcome. However how much of her functions will she recover is hard to say without knowing the exact extent of the damage. While you should conserve hope as it is a several months long process, if the damaged area is big you should also be aware that some disability may persist.
