Default Infant Traumatic Brain Injury

I am raising my granddaughter who in now almost 18. At 6 months old, she fell from a countertop onto a concrete floor and suffered a skull fracture. At the age of 17, after a myriad of problems and her not taking ADHD meds, we finally had a therapist come into our home to help us. After doing the intake paperwork and learning of her history, it was finally determined that she is suffering from the results of the brain injury she received as an infant. She is currently in residential treatment at NeuroRestorative. She is due to come home July 1st. I am not sure that she will be ready.

I was wondering if anyone here has a child who suffered TBI and how you cope with it.
