He will have a few good days and a few more bad days and eventually his good days will start to out number his bad days. I am 9 months post and I don't have any bad days now and haven't for many months. It just takes much more time than we think and especially much more time than we want but in the scheme of things he will return to almost normal quickly, certaintly in less than a year.
