Austin's first CT

Yesterday Austin earned a ticket to the Urgent Care Center and a CT scan.  He was in PE and fell hitting his head on the concrete floor.  His hands were keeping another classmate from hitting a wall so they were not available to brake the fall and he had a direct blow to the head.  After visiting the nurse he was sent back to class and he went to recess.  While outside he collapsed with a moderate to severe headache and nausea.  The nurse instantly called Kevin at work and he jumped in the car while calling me.

When I arrived at the school Austin was asleep on the bed and as soon as he woke up he was in instant tears.  Poor kid.  He said that he felt like he was going to throw up and I knew we had to take him in to the UCC asap.  He fell asleep again in the car, and several times at the clinic so the Dr ordered a CT scan.

Thankfully the CT was normal and we were told that he had a concussion and told to watch him closely.    He had a great day today with a mild headache.  He is really looking forward to getting on that plane in a few hours... (that was a close one!)
