"Is this normal behavior being 14 months in?"
No.
"We live in a rural area and do not have any resources."
If there are surgeons available to perform four craniotomy procedures my guess is there are some PhD level psychologists that can do an assessment,

About 6 weeks after his initial injury, he started having spinal fluid leak out of his nose due to all the fractures in his face, they poked a hole in his spinal fluid sack. Should have been one surgery. Unfortunately every 48 hours for the next week he had 3 emergency surgeries. 1st one was due to a brain bleed. 2nd one was air getting into the brain due to another pathway that the fractures made, 3rd one was unknown swelling in the brain, and they decided to leave the front part of his skull off for 3 months. 4th one was reattaching the skull . It was pure hell. Hospital is 70 miles away as well as resources. He will not go to counseling. I have put in a call to his Neuro-surgeon.
