I went back to work PT first also, and it does take some adjustment, but it sounds as if his progress continues.

One other suggestion would be to see if there is a TBI support group in your area. The Brain Injury Association of America lists resources by state and support groups are usually listed. A TBI can be a confusing and scary condition to recover from, support groups can be a place to share hope and inspiration and to learn from others with similar injuries.

Here is a book on TBI written from a caregivers point of view:

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.

Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.
