My kids, and friends have been knocked out and when taken to the dr/hospital they never kept them ... but we were sent home and told to look out for signs of a concussion. Headache, Dizziness, Ringing in the ears, Nausea or vomiting, Slurred speech. Though some symptoms of concussions don't appear until hours or days ...

I don't have a medical background to know exactly what to do, but they did keep him overnight.

Right, Bee..usually they keep them overnight. That's why I'm wondering if the fact that she hit the floor with her head that hard was overlooked. I'm thinking the other HG's may have talked over Nat, who was actually with her when it happened.

I agree, Rebel, that the MRI may have been to see what caused the fainting and seizure.

I don't know bee- I just have a really bad feeling about this. It could all blow over- it might explode. But Amanda is the first HG in a while that just worries me somehow....

she could also have a headache due to her blood sugars dropping... my DD type 1 diabetic, has very bad migraines for 24H after her hypoglycemic states.... her muscles ache, like flu-like symptoms.

well, going shopping my DD; taking advantage of the beautiful blue sky here in Seattle....

My concern with Amanda is if she has to do a physical comp and does have a concussion, there is condition called post-concussion syndrome that could stay with her. It causes sever headaches, etc. It's a neurological problem. That's why they like people with suspected concussions to rest a few days to let the concussion heal on it's own. Then there's no problem doing activities.

Bee did your son have indications of a concussion... something other than being just knocked out??? Dang, now I am wondering about my little girl who ran into a pole, hit her head, knocked out and had 14 stitches... they sent her home with me... Of course I didn't sleep all night and I woke her up every hour...poor child...

Christiii Allison came very close to death. She had a classic anaphalatic allergic reaction. Her face,tongue and throat swelled up and she had hives all over. The nurse was in the DR with her and hit her with an Epi-pen which opened her airway but did little else and they called an ambulance-
At the exact time Allison was given the epi-pen injection Amanda went down.

So I guess you could say Amanda has Allison to thank for the nurse getting to her so fast. :-)

Seriously Allison very well could have died had she not gotten help so quickly.

Bon...he was unconscious for a period of time and had slurred speech and vomitting.
They said he had "mild concussion"
He was released the next day, but was given a paper with signs to look for.
As I recall, vomitting, blurred vision and slurred speech were some of the signs to look for.

That could also be it, Rebel. It was interesting this morning how Alex answered Josh's question as to who was stronger, him or Matt and he said something like, "With the way Amanda is, Matt/Nat are." I hope he continues to have concern for her.

I guess that is the difference... my girl was out with the possibility of a concussion so sent home ... your son showed signs of a concussion so was kept for further observations...

I guess Amanda did not show signs of a concussion, but Cricket has a good point, the physical challenges could be a bit much for a recovering head...

Now Sheila is saying/crying not to go on the block? That's all she kept whining about last night. Oh brother. I hope BB edits her very well, with everything included.
