Going back home!

Well this was a fairly short ER stay tonight!

Thank goodness everything checked out okay tonight! Looks like the headache is a combination of the concussion that Corbyn sustained on Tuesday when he got into a fight at school and was knocked out.

He simply needs more time to heal. To complicate matters he appears to have had a slight reaction to the IVIg causing the headache to become worse and last longer. The ER staff is sure the dizziness and vomiting is from the concussion and increased from the headache.

The good news is that the head CT came back clean. There is no sign of cerebral hemorrhaging (brain bleeding), also his platelet count is up to 130k. Not as high as his last IVIg count of 170k but we are still thrilled with the 130k count.

We are just about to head back home. He is still on concussion restrictions. No active activities. No biking, running, jumping, (fighting) or similar activities. Not that he is interested in these activities anyway. LOL he just told the Dr. that he never wants a headache, vomiting, or dizziness like what he has experienced today. So time will tell if he has truly learned from this experience.

I think he has.
