That data is not enough, it might be a stroke but also say a brain tumor could produce the same symptoms. Perhaps more details on the history and its progression in time would help, but eventually physical examination and brain imaging shall be necessary.
So given the impossibility of reaching a diagnosis it's impossible to responsibly make predictions for the future or recommend a treatment.
I am afraid I did not understand what does being a firstborn have to do with receiving medical counsel.
