I am sorry to hear a?
I am sorry to hear about this. Has he had surgery on his brain? How long ago was the accident? usually when the brain starts to swell, that is not a good sign. Due to the swelling, there is restricted blood flow and parts of the brain will be starved of oxygen, and those areas will die. As you may know, when parts of the brain die, they are unrecoverable. Sometimes, surgery may be done to remove a section of the skull to allow the brain to swell outward instead of downward. If the brain swells and expands downward, then the brain may herniate, or exit through the hole in the bottom of the skull. If this happens, it is almost always deadly. The amount of swelling depends on the extent of injury, so it is not possible to know how much it will swell. It is possible that the brain will just swell a little and then return to normal size, again, there is no way to know. This is always a waiting game to see the extent of injury and the results of the injury. I wish your friend a speedy recovery.
