brain test

Since Braeden's concussion about 5 weeks ago he has not been able to play soccer. We saw his pediatrician 2 weeks ago and he did not release Braeden to play because of some lingering headaches. Yesterday, we went to see a sports doctor. He administered several tests to Braeden to see if his head was completely healed. Braeden went through some balancing tests, hand-eye coordination tests, memorization tests, and a computer test. The Dr was so impressed with the results of his computer test. He said that in the last 3 years or so that Braeden had one of the highest scores he had ever seen. He scored better than 99% of kids his age. So, needless to say his brain is intact and is working just fine....oh, and he is super intelligent. Those were the doctors words..not mine. I already knew that. :)

Over the next 4 days Braeden has to gradually add in more exercise. If he is successful without having any symptoms he can go back to playing soccer next Tuesday. He is more than excited about that.
