I have a relative who got into a serious car accident. Brain was severely damaged and surgery was more a practice... doctor personally took out damaged brain part that does the speech. He was 22. He is alive and well and able to speak, work and everything. Without that part of the brain. You can't tell he had any problems, apart from seam on his head and very rare seizures that started many years after accident.
He got married 2 years after that. So he recovered rather quickly.
No-one expected him to live except the people who very much prayed for him. (I don't want anyone arguing here on religious beliefs, I provide that for the "full picture" and I wanted to provide this data point about this man as it very much relates to article.)
I've heard the doctor doing surgery on him, wrote a publication about him. However I can't confirm - haven't ever searched for that paper.
So whats amazing here is that he wasn't a child where article points out that at that stage brain gets rewired.
