Kay,
Don't stop believing.
Her brain is sooooo young.
Follow the nutrition and vitamin regime
Read as much as you can.
Don't ever settle on a doctor or therapist. Shop!
Make her your life, but you need to have a life too. Balance. Ignore others that don't bring positive to your life. Learn to ask for and accept help.
I lost my child at 10 for over a year to a major surgery. Her personality changed, our relationship changed, everything did. I was crushed, her dad too because we've always been a united, loving, strong team. We remained her constant so that even though her life felt so different and herself too she could always have us as the same.
It's taken a long time but now she's so much the child we raised and more. The relationships are stronger, she found an inner strength, and she knows herself so well. She's developed such empathy, compassion, and drive.
Her injury was not even her brain and its been over a year for her to come back. She's still healing physically, mentally, and emotionally and in a way we all are.
The brain takes much longer. Don't give up in your heart. Time and youth are on her side along with you!
Peace, Jace
