Hi Amy

I don't know the exact situation he is in. But I can relate to the feeling
of being in a daze and not exactly understanding what is going on.

I would guess that he is not understanding why they have him on all the
equipment, and stuff. I would say he needs time to get over the concussion,
and that they are probably right about that part. Its also possible that they
are right that it will be a while.

I know that when I had my concussion it was considered very mild but it was very much about 2 weeks before I really felt very good. I really shouldn't have been doing lots of the things I was, but didn't realize that.

The best thing you and his family can do for him is to give him the time, and to wait. I know how hard that is. But its honestly what he needs. Its going to be just as hard the next few steps he will need.

See its going to be a hard road to his recovery, its going to be lots of things that are going to take patience, probably he will be needing lots of rest, and he will definately need to be in some types of therapy.

I'm here if you need to talk. I would suggest that you see if you can locate
a local Tramautic Brain Injury support group. This would be one of the best things for now.

YOu could do a google search on the internet or ask the hospital about this.
THey should know if there is one, in the state.
