Concussions

As the days go by we all boys and girls love the excitement of sports. And I'm pretty sure that the majority of boys that on Earth either play basketball, football, etc.. But its always those little accidents that happen during a game that could effect a child for the rest of their lives. One major but looked over as minor injury is concussion. As of now ER visits in the U.S. has jumped to 60 percent, my fox news says,71 percent were males and about 70 percent were aged 10-19. Among that older set of kids, males most often were injured while playing football or bicycling, while females hurt their heads most often while playing soccer or basketball or while bicycling. In addition, seriousness of this has become a big problem because concussions can damage your brain as well as starting over your whole life as we know it. When certain brain cells are damaged it could damage your speech, ability to maneuver. to conclude, if there is and if your son or daughter is feeling dizzy, light headed,headaches, or feeling as though the have to vomit, they may have symptoms of a on the way concussion and must be IMMEDIATELY monitored and be supervised by MIAA during a sport or if at home take them to the closest med office or the nearest hospital. DO NOT over look this because it is one of the most over looked problem that could effect your child for the rest of their life.
