Hi and welcome to our little brain boo boo club.

I'm sorry about your daughter's injury, but I'm glad she's got such a proactive parent.

Mark has done an excellent job covering most of the major PCS issues and coping strategies. The only thing I would add is to make sure that your daughter gets a neuro-psychological exam. The neuro-psych is the best way to access how the injury is actually playing out in terms of real world functioning. Very specialized scans might reveal some of the damage, but they can't tell you how it's effecting your daughter. A neuro-psych is an excellent tool for helping to target cognitive therapy.
