Thank you. I appreciate your response. We live in Canada...we will need to be referred to a concussion clinic - doctor said if the headaches still persist after two weeks (because this is a second one) she will re-assess and we will be referred. Unless headaches get worse, in that case we go back immediately.

He had an orthodontist appointment at 9:10 today, and then a meeting with the school guidance counsellor at 10:15 which we just returned from.

He's now back in bed...it was a lot of cognitive activity for him.

She wanted to see if he could tolerate 45 minutes of science class, but he was exhausted so we brought him home.

He will go to science tomorrow, but likely that will be the only class he attends. We will probably stagger his re-entry to school, one subject a day. It will be difficult with working full-time, but my work is good about family commitments. They stress that the kids always come first.

My husband and I were talking about a chiropractor today on our way back from the school. I didn't know there were different types. I'll bring that up with the doctor as well.

Our primary care physician is not necessarily bad, she's just not as pro-active toward some things unless it's a repeat visit, or it's clear from the get go what needs to be done. Her thoughts are just to see if this will resolve first on its own before getting us to go down the path of specialists. She is very good at referring though when the time is right.

The original doctor we saw at the walk-in did some initial cognitive testing on him in the office. The X-ray he sent him for was just that - an X-ray. No CT or anything else just yet.

So...for now...he's back in bed because he's exhausted.

We will just try and take this one day at a time.

I will definitely speak to the doctor about things you've mentioned though when we return.
