I'm so sorry for your son's injury. It must be frightening to watch his change. He will get better. It just does take time.
One thing I found helpful is acupuncture. Look at the vitamin thread on top of this bulletin board--fish oil has been helpful.
Rest-no reading, computer, etc., is vital. The brain will need time to rebuild and to strengthen.
Be well!
