[quote=Anonymous]Am glad to hear Children's is now taking concussions seriously. My child had a bad one five years ago--was unconscious for ten minutes--and went to Children's. After ascertaining there was no bleeding in the brain, they sent us on our way, with absolutely no advice or warnings. Children's could not have treated it more lightly--perhaps because it was not a sports related incident or perhaps because they simply weren't taking such injuries seriously then. Child slept for 17 hours a night for several days, stayed home for a week (spring break). Midweek I took her to PCP who determined she was post-concussive. We then went through months of extremely erratic behavior that in retrospect was probably triggered by the concussion. [/quote]
