Supermans Mom,

Welcome to NT. I am sorry to hear about your son. Don't give up yet. I have a brain injury friend who took 2 years to learn to walk and talk. He is now 22 years post injury. He lives on his own and drives. He is on SSDI.

I attend a brain injury support group with many who have been in similar states as your son. Their long term improvement is always surprising.

One young man who had a similar injury on the football field uses an iPad to help him through the day. He uses it to speak when he has trouble. It has prerecorded statement to help others understand him and his condition.

Did they do a decompressive craniectomy to accommodate the swelling ?

My best to you both.
