Grace saw her regular doc today and we got a referral to brain rehab. I was concerned that their regular protocal for return to sports after a concussion is a slow return once symptoms go away. But this was not a normal, "oh I got by bell rung" concussion. And it was not the first one. So we asked to talk to someone who deals with brain injuries on a more regular basis and might be able to guide us on when to return to soccer/surfing/skiing. Because I certainly don't feel comfortable with her going into a soccer game in 2 weeks and heading a soccer ball!
The doc did an interesting test. He had her stand on one foot which she did without a problem but then he had her stand with her feet in a line (one foot in front of the other) and she could not balance at all! I was shocked. Other tests were fine.
