also, andrew had his evaluation skate for hockey this year, so the season is officially underway - be prepared for updates. extra updates this year, thanks to the stupid nhl cba.
]]>he wasn't actually unconscious as far as we can tell and he remembers everything. we did the usual check his memory, check his pupils, etc. and he seemed to be fine. by later that afternoon, he seemed to be fully recovered (was playing and normally active and had no complaints of headaches).
yesterday, however, at school, he was complaining of headaches and his teacher sent him to the office to have his temperature taken. when we heard this, we decided perhaps we should get him to his doctor just to double check.
so this morning sandi took him - just to be careful, but assuming that he'd be given a clean bill of health and be on his way. well, apparently the doctor is pretty convinced that he indeed did sustain a "head injury" though she wouldn't commit to a concussion specifically (based on his answers to her questions) and has recommended that he not play hockey at least this weekend and that he stay home from school and avoid excess 'visual stimulation'.
needless to say, sandi and i are a bit more freaked out now. any pediatric head doctors out there? anything we should be particularly worried about long term?
sheesh :(
]]>a chip off the old block i must say :) i haven’t started a goalie equipment savings fund quite yet, however.
