Hi Melody. Three concussions in 17 months is brutal; every person responds differently of course, but it should be noted that every time his brain is concussed it increases the likelihood of very long term or even permanent damage. If your son is having this sort of memory issue or reading comprehension issue now, another concussion in a month or two from now could be devastating. Your family should really read up on concussion and Post Concussion Syndrome, and talk about whether continuing in sports is a good idea at this point.

I second the motion that a neuropsychologist or neuropsychiatrist is a very good idea at this point; pinpoint any deficiencies and hopefully they have a treatment plan for your son.

Thanks for coming by and sharing with us, so sorry to hear about your sons troubles!
