I'm really sorry about your son and I can relate because my son had a concussion over three months ago and still can't read. But he is only in second grade and we are not pushing anything with him. He is a good student too. But we have him out of school with a tutor coming to work with him only on the necessary work to have him complete the second grade. We are not overwhelming him with anything in regards to school. Being in tenth grade, your son, I am sure has much more work and it has to be very challenging! Is the school understanding of this? Our doctor wrote a letter to the school and they provided him with the tutor and has been so supportive.

We also found that my son's vision is blurry. The eye specialist said this is only temporary and will clear up when he recovers. We just got glasses for him that will be ready on Monday for him to start wearing.

My son has bad headaches too so reading just makes it worse. I'm sure you are told to have your son rest and really that is the only thing that can help along with time. We were hoping our son would be better at this point but every concussion is different so we are just taking care of our son and supporting him in any way we can.

I wish I had more to offer other than I know what you are going through and to maybe not have your son do much in the way of schoolwork and try to get some special considerations for him so that he is not stressed out.

I wish your son a speedy recover and hope to hear he is well soon!
