Signs of a Concussion
Posted on October 22, 2014
Good morning everyone!
My husband played ice hockey in college. One time he got hit hard by a guy with stars on his helmet and fell down. When he got up several minutes later, he wanted to find the guy with stars on his helmet. It took my husband the rest of the period to realize that no one had stars on their helmet…. If he were playing hockey now he would have been taken out of the game and not been able to play again until her had been evaluated by a team doctor and cleared.
We are still learning about the long term effects of concussions, but it is best not to take chances with developing brains. I found this great tip guide from the CDC about what to do if you think your little athlete might have a concussion. Learn what some of the signs are of having a concussion and what you can do to help prevent one.
