Just had a big long chat with brother-in-law (I'm very fond of the fella)
from everything we know we've every reason to hope for a positive outcome, but it's likely to involve brain surgery and a few months of 'orrible treatment with steroids. It's going to be unpleasant but we've every reason to be positive that the shit he and the family go through over the coming months will result in him making a full recovery. There's definitely risks, but they are low so it's a case of focusing on the next step in the process, bit-at-a-time.

hopefully the long term outcome is that he has a cool scar and a horrible anecdote

Indeed
he's a bit worried that he'll look like Pinhead from Hellraiser for a bit and traumatise his boys but I think at least one of them would find it cool AF.

Steroid treatment isn't pleasant but it's effective
Hope all goes well

Do the steroids mean he'll have a really muscular head afterwards?
