Default son's PCS progress

My son is 5 weeks out from his PCS diagnosis from what a neurosurgeon we went to calls a Grade 3 concussion. He received it wrestling mid February after being dropped on his head. He is 16 and devastated. He is still dizzy and having cognitive issues with reading, memory etc. The symptoms get worse after riding in a car. He does not even feel like sports, so not even a frustration. School has been hard and we are modifying his curriculum now until he improves. He is in all honors AP classed and very good student. This is a serious condition and causing alot of upset to his life. The trainer put him back out after injury because he did not lose conciousness. These discussion communities help because I feel you do not know what to do. He also feels a leg injury etc would have been more appreciated. Good luck with your daughter. We are seeing a great physician out of Concord MA who was also Johnson's physician. He is very interested in sports head injuries.
