Unless he has a positive breakthrough and moves a lower extremity. The 10-14 day timeline is the period the edema would last. If the swelling ablates and he is still without feeling or movement it means that the blood flow to that nerve bundle or cord was too low for too long or both leading to permanent injury. This is the difference between ischemia and infarction....so if there was news earlier it would likely be positive.
