Concussion

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL: Panthers, ’Hawks advance | FLS Varsity: HS Sports

Two weeks ago Colleen got hit in the face with a volleyball.  The next night she played a game and had a nasty fall.  She became extremely moody and had a severe headache.  She went to the athletic trainer and failed her concussion test.  She was told to have complete rest for 3 days and should be good by Monday.  Over the weekend she continued to have headaches and when she went to school on Monday she had no idea what was going on in her math class said it was completely foreign to her.  The doctor put her on complete rest for the week.  Between hearing every horror concussion story and having Colleen unable to carry on a conversation things were scary for a few days.  She started coming alive at the end of the week and passed her concussion test and her mind started being clearer.  Yesterday was a good day at school and even though she wasn't allowed to play volleyball.  She got to practice today and tomorrow is a game, but more importantly Math class.  We are praying she just keeps going strong!
