My daughter is 13. She cheers Allstar on a Senior COed R5 team and also at her middle school for the school team.
The school team dropped her at practice Wednesday night. I took her to ER yesterday where she was given a clear CT scan and just told she has a mild concussion.
She has been having severe headaches and nausea. They gave her Zofran for the nausea. She tried to go back to school today but only made it about 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours before we had to pick her up. She is now home sleeping. She's on nap #2 for the day. Sleep seems to be the only thing we've really found that helps her feel better for awhile.
Does anyone have experience with concussions? ER did not give us any indication of how long this should/could last. We've never been down this road before so I'm just wondering what to expect. She's anxious to get back to school and cheer but we've pulled her out for now. She missed her last basketball game last night with her school team. She's missing her first comp with the school team tomorrow. And she missed learning the pyramid with her Allstar team on Wednesday. It's hard to watch her stress over missing this stuff even though I know it is best.
