[quote=Anonymous]We've been through this twice now in the past 18 months. How old is your child? Do they have baseline concussion testing? This is so helpful because you can see exactly when they're back to 'normal.' For my DD, the first concussion seemed more severe - she had to be in a dark room for a week, and then it took a few more weeks for her to get back to baseline. This past winter it seemed like a more 'mild' concussion, but the headaches lasted quite a while. We went to Children's - it's helpful because they give you many pointers for dealing with school and do the testing to see how cognitive functioning is going. You will not see medical doctors. Children's concussion clinic is staffed with neuropsychologists who are very knowledgeable. Good luck - it can be a long, frustrating haul. [/quote]
