That is also my daughter - high achieving, motivated, straight A student and accomplished equestrian. She had pretty significant PCS issues that were dismissed as anxiety/psychological issues. They didn't come right out and say it -but strongly implied that her issues were a school avoidance issues and not PCS. We had NO issues before she hit her head.


That seems odd that he could pass the neurological tests but not stand/walk unassisted but then my daughter could too but she did have times where she was very out of balance. I remember back to one appointment, we she passed the balance tests in a exam room with the lights dimmed, and then when she left the room, she could barely walk down the wall way to leave. She crashed into a wall and almost fell down. There were times when she walked around with her head down and kind of shuffled around rather than walking. At about 8-10 weeks, most of my daughter's balance issues seemed to have resolved.

There is another mom on the board who's daughter has optic nerve trauma. She might be more helpful in regards to the eye issues.

Hang in there!
