I will bump this thread until I hear from peppers. It is that important to me. Sorry
Don't screw around any longer with this. If this is the email that you just got. Then get her to a neurologist. This is nothing to mess around with at all. You know what my dd went thru and I hope it isn't as bad as what my dd went thru. It is only sometime and money spent if it is nothing, but if it isn't, then the quicker you get ahead of it the better. Please Peppers, I know we have never meet, but please, please don't wait around.
DD passed the test yesterday, but the school has decided that she needs a clearance from a neurologist before she can go back to practice and she is scheduled to got to one in Florida this afternoon.
I think it was my calling the coach with concerns that has made them take this extra precautions.
She tells me she feel fine, but I think she just wants to get back to practice.
The girl who had 5 concussions I thought had brain cancer, my wife advised me yesterday it turned out not to be cancer. She is having blurred vision, headaches, dizzy spells and periods of confusion. My wife advised after numerous test they have not been able to find the problem although at first they thought she had a tumor.
So I hope this thread may help someone else who's kid suffers a blow to the head to take it seriously, DD is 20 and IMO I should have handled it different, by making her go to the doctor when I first heard.
She and her mom and I thought it was a virus because it took symptoms 5 days to show up as nausea and head aches.
Take any blow to the head seriously even though it seems insignificant.
It occurred for DD when her and 2 other girls stayed after practice to hit a ball hit the top of the screen popped up came down and hit her in the back of the head, she advised it was not a hard hit only stung a little, but did not hurt.
