Hi,

Sadly, your son sounds like he's trapped in the midline of a few situations:

- an adherent practitioner of IMPACT guidelines (not useful in most situations of this nature per NIH)

- and some form of possible mTBI type injury we are seeing in boxer injured - since his injury was in fact a supposed boxing injury, and not a football injury by all reports;

He was reportedly - fooling around, shadow boxing with friends when one connected, and he , soon after went unconscious and hit the floor --- then was 'dragged to bathroom by friends and coaches? and taken to other coaches (an EMT - who should have known not to move an unconscious patient).......so many wrongs here.

Then the ER didn't keep a bewildered youth for overnight observation? after an unconscious period from an obvious head injury? with repeat studies ?

What were those 10 questions he kept asking, may I ask?

All his behaviors sound as if he has had some very severe lingering residual effects from his injury that have not been evaluated, and very much should be.

He should be evaluated in depth by a NeuroPsychiatrist/NeuroPsychologist, if he has not already had one evaluate him.

Recommendations should be that he stop contact sports until all evaluations are completed, and a new 'game' plan is reached, prior to a scheduled resumption of sports activities; as well as those limitations listed in the stickies above.

Others will also present their input Im sure.

Best wishes.
