It took me a LONG time to find this article. I found a version of it posted on an school in California website and then hunted and found the original source. I too sent it to my daughter's school. It was really an eye opener for them and helped understand the situation better. They were already supportive and now they are even more supportive.

Your friends and family and school administration just heard you say last week that things were getting better and now she can't come to school. It's a lot longer and more complicated healing process than I think either of us has fully realized at this point.

I couldn't agree more! I felt like a TOTAL flake when she didn't make it to school earlier this week. My friends that have had kids with concussions - remind me that everything is baby steps and to not get discouraged.
