If someone suffers a stroke and then a second stroke within 3 days, what are his chances of a full recovery?

My dad suffered a mild stroke on Friday with the CT scan results showing yes he had a stroke. His symptoms were confusion, imbalance and his main complaint of pain was his head, especially across the back of his eyes. With his second stroke today, he has signs of disorientation, he can only speak Yes or No and nothing else and his balance is out of whack because he couldn't hold a glass of water.

The riskiest time after a stroke is within the first month, during which is when the likelihood of more strokes is the highest.
It seems your dad's first stroke may have "extended", which means the new lesion is another from the same spot where the other one happened.
In order to determine prognosis, one needs to know the size of the lesion and its location in the brain.
The problem with holding the water glass is likely due to hemiplegia (weakness due to cortical stroke) and not balance problems.
Check with the nurse before giving your dad anything by mouth, as stroke patients frequently have swallowing problems that aren't obvious to the untrained eye.
Ask the doctor to order speech, occupational, and physical therapies.

yes he can recover 100%. just give it time. the brain has gone though alot with the strokes and needs to recover. take it slow dont push him to do things he cant cope with just yet. my nana had a stroke and all on the left side she couldnt move now she can as if nothing has happened.

Im sad to say if you have 2 strokes in that short of time, him having a full recovery is slim to none! Ive seen people who have had 1 stroke and 5 years later are still having trouble doing simple things! Sorry wish him the best! Take care!
