Because he didn't report the dizziness, which is mostly with reading not movement, at the doctors. Dad is also his hockey coach. There's a bias to return him to play and he showed immense physical progress. They are all doing what they think is best and I'm just the worried mom with PCS bias. So my testimony is dismissed anyway.
My son will say he's fine until I press him for more information. He will also play up symptoms for me at times, and play down symptoms for Dad. Really hard to tell the truth with a child!

I also don't get why he played three games over one weekend?
|
It was a tournament. He played 2 games Friday and 1 on Saturday. Again he was short shifted for all of these and spent some time just benched to prevent him burning out.
Prior to this he was cleared to practise which he did on several occasions so we knew and he knew his limits. That's the best we could do. I didn't want him to play at all but I also get accused of pushing my anxiety onto his life. Tough call.

I hope he's feeling a lot better and happier after his cooking club! Perhaps if the school could let him lie down somewhere for 20 minutes or something he could get some relief but then I guess school is almost over so not much point in that.

That's a great idea though. Thanks for that. I will mention that in email to the teacher. I don't even know if they have a sick room/place for him to rest. I guess it's time to have a meeting with the school but where and how do I find the health to do that... Right now I'm relying on emailing the teachers because I'm maxed out with my own pain. Argh.
Plus no one trusts what I say. They think I'm just a worried mom and I have no support for my "medical" opinions. Without a doctors note saying he needs this or that accommodation, schools are the same as workplaces... They just don't believe and they don't bend rules. Especially for boys, IMO, we still live in the dark ages where a boy is not "allowed" to be anything but strong.
In other news he called back and his headache is reduced to half, it was 8/10 and now is 4/10. So he's coping and sounded happier.... He is staying at school and cooking club.
Hope he will be ok. I just don't even know sometimes what is the right answer. Parenthood with impaired thinking is brutal.
