The brain learns through repetition. This is something that I have come to understand much more deeply in the last 2 1/2 years. To put it simply, the brain creates pathways, healthy or unhealthy through repetition. If the brain is injured, healthy pathways can be disrupted. The brain is also very adaptable. If the correct pathway has been disrupted, whether it's loss of motor function, the loss of one of the senses, or the ability to concentrate or think critically, the brain will make other pathways similar to a stream blocked by a rock. Over time, the brain will eventually accept this alternate pathway as a "new normal." I have seen this happen in my TBI journey. While my brain has adapted from the injury to function the best it can, I still know that this adaptation was not the way things were designed to be. I still remember what life was like before the injury, even though it happened so long ago. 
New advancements in brain research have shown that these pathways can be corrected over time through various treatments and excersises tailored to your brain's specific needs. How quickly good pathways can be built depends on severity, time, and consistency of treatment. It requires commitment, dedication and a lot of patience. Having a brain injury go untreated for over twenty years is, "a really big snowball to have to push back up the hill," as one of my doctors put it.
In addition to support for our fundraiser to continue treatment, I also ask for prayer that I will remain disciplined and consistent with my home treatments in between visits. 
Let's keep moving forward!
