This article grabbed my attention because I have a best friend whose son suffered traumatic brain injury at 2 months. They measured 87 children 3 to 6 months post injury and compared them to 119 children with orthopedic injuries. What they found was that the children with brain injury did worse than those suffering from orthopedic injuries on tests of executive functioning and social behavior, using neurological testing and parent (social) ratings. My only concern is that 3 to 6 months is not an ample amount of time for recovery (complete).

Did you retrieve the full text article, if so from where? Put more detail into your blog, should go beyond an abstract.
