Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. Most of the time, recovery after a stroke is never complete. The condition might ameliorate but would hardly go back to what was obtained before the stroke. What he needs now is speech therapy which is very important in improving verbal communication in post stroke patients. I would advise you find out where centers involved in speech therapy are found and take him there.
I hope that helps
i wish him fast recovery
