For what it's worth, my son has this injury (severe brain trauma), approximately 30% of brain is non existent. He doesn't have PTSD as it happened when he was a baby along with a large number of complications. I got PTSD with all of the multiple surgeries (and wishing goodbyes), EVDs, shunts, life and death decisions, and witnessing near death on a few occasions for him over months. The only positive is I can see PTSD in other people from once having it myself, and it is heartbreaking because I know exactly what they are going through too.
