kelly18,

If she got dropped on her head during a training session, then she should have medical services available through the school. No school holds the athlete responsible for medical care related to play or training. Call the school health clinic or trainer's office.

Please, call and find her the help she needs. Help is available. What school is this ? Maybe I can research to find phone numbers to help.

The heath center on campus isn't open on the weekends. Hopefully she will go in tomorrow. The training session wasn't with the school, it was a training session for one of her hobbies, kempo.

She isn't one for talking about her feelings. She deals with them and just kinda puts them on her shoulders.

It sounds like kempo should no longer be a hobby. At the very least, not for 6 months or so. The health center should have a concussion assessment system or be able to refer her to a concussion assessment clinic.

She seriously needs to consider asking for a deferral on her finals. She is currently ADA qualified for accommodation. Her injury has created a disability to perform a daily function/ memorize and recall, etc. With a health center diagnosis taken to the Disabilities Office, she should be able to get a deferral on her finals. This is a common situation in many schools.

I am going into panic mode. She can't hear from one of her ears and her head is still bleeding. There is blood on her bed but she isn't home. I am not sure where she is.

What do I do?!

She seemed okay this morning. Got up and was speaking coherent sentences. Said she was going to church and then studying.

I just got home and my other friend told me about the hearing and when I went in her room there was blood on her pillow/bed.

Like the others said, call 911

kelly18,

I agree. With the additional symptoms, you need to get her to something more intensive that a school clinic. 911 would be good. Call and let them sort this out.

Well, she went in against her will. 10 stitches and a night in the hospital...she is not overly happy at the moment.

Glad to hear that she was seen by doctors. Now, she needs to ask for a deferral for her finals so she can give her brain the rest it needs so she can be successful next semester.

The docs aren't letting her go home tonight. So she is staying another night, they might let her go home tomorrow night... So she isn't even going to be on campus for finals.
