Default daughter with pcs

On June 8th my daughter collided with a team mate at soccer practice. She suffered 5 fractures - 3 around her eye and 2 in the sinuses. She had a comotio (sp?) on her retina and her optic nerve was elevated.

The eye doctor says the comotio is gone and the optic nerve now looks fine. She does need glasses now though - which she did not wear previously (-1.5). I'm assuming at this point the bones are healed.

She still suffers from headaches and often has trouble falling asleep. She is seeing a doctor at children's memorial. She says to just keep resting and it will heal in time. She has advised that my daughter not go back to school full time (starts next week).

I was looking at this site this morning (won't let me post link)
University of Buffalo - University of Sports Medicine - Concussion Clinic

They use exercise to treat PCS. Does anyone here have any experience with it/them? This waiting and doing nothing is getting hard, and I'm not sure it is the right answer.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
