This happened a few years ago to one of my cousins. It's been really hard on her and confusing for everyone because the doctors weren't sure what exactly was wrong/why it was taking so long for her to recover, etc. I think now enough time has passed that she has started to feel like she will never make a full recovery. She is a lot better now, but definitely not the same person she used to be. I really feel for you and thank you for trying to educate and answer questions.
My question would be, how can I support my family member who has a similar story, without being condescending or pitying? What things did your friends/family do to help you feel better?
