Default Worsening TBI symptoms

Hello. I am new to this forum and I am utilizing this site to gain information from more experienced members of the community in regards to TBI. My mother was in a car accident in January 2012 that resulted in moderate to severe brain injury. She temporarily lost consciousness, suffered a minor hematoma and was diagnosed with tbi. This happened a little over a year after a fairly significant stroke. Although she is fully "functional" since the accident she has persistent nausea, headaches, memory loss, irregular sleep/fatigue, and what seems to be atonic seizures causing random falls or loss of motor control at times. We have had numerous conflicting mri exams since and her doctor just believes she needs cognitive therapy. The latest mri resulted in the doctor recommending a consultation for possible surgery. Her symptoms seem to be worsening almost a year after the incident. I am her son and only family member, I'm young and not sure how to handle this situation. We are trying to get her back into an inpatient program for brain injury rehabilitation until the consultation with the neurosurgeon. Is anyone familiar with this situation that can kindly offer any advice or an opinion of the ongoing situation? Is it normal to have deteriorating health so long after? Recommended course of treatment or doctors? Thank you so much for even reading this.
