Hi,
From what I understand your uncle has suffered repeated strokes ischemic stroke. A blood vessel has been occluded and a brain area has been irreparably damaged due to lack of blood supply. Unfortunately after the first hours there is no treatment to reverse the damage, some brain cells are dead I am afraid.
When it comes to drugs the point is not that much about reversing what's already been done, but identifying the cause and choose the correct blood thinners to prevent recurrences, there has already been another stroke in this case. Many tests are done to search for the cause, you have to speak to the doctors what has been done in that regard.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
