Hi, Ephie! Mark is, as always, full of great information here. I would like to add that we found some great information that eventually helped my daughter through the VA. Better armour and different types of explosives have changed the way our soldiers experience head injury (less fatal, more subtle and long-lasting).

NPR had a great series if you google "NPR" "Head Injury" "VA" I think you'll find it.

In every way I can tell my daughter is back to her pre-injury status, but I just can't help but come back here once in awhile to see if I can help someone in some way.
