This IS good news.  :)

The brain is very plastic and can make recovery. I found botox to be very helpful... as it gave the non firing muscles a chance to catch up.

Hang in there and keep moving forward. Your Dad is lucky to have someone like you!

I had a 5cm x 5cm. They had to leave some of it in after debulking it.
