Well, it looks like football is over for my son. Recently my son has been vomiting and has had associated headaches. we weren't sure what the problem was and took him to the doctors. They did some tests and found nothing wrong. We later heard from some friends that his symptoms could be from a concussion. As it turns out four weeks ago during his game against Poly her took a very hard hit to the helmet from one of his own team mates. Now I remember him telling me about the hit but he said he was fine and wasn't hurting. I guess I should have dug deeper. It turns out that the hit immediately gave him a head ache, cause him to be slightly dizzy, and caused some tingling in his spine / back ("Now he tells me"). So we contacted the doctor and had a CT scan that night. The CT scan came back negative for any swelling or bleeding. That was last week on Friday. He was fine over the weekend and then Monday comes and he's sick again. So I leave work to take him back to the doctors. They tell me he has post concussion syndrome. So football is over for him. We both talked about it and he's fine with the season being over. His words "I've played all the important games I wanted to play". I just want him to get better.
I will still be out there shooting but now since he won't be playing I might be able to get out the freshmen games, who play the same time as the JV, and take some shots of them. The parents are really interested in getting some pictures.
