[QUOTE="buddy, post: 531216, member: 12886"] You have never said what sport, and I understand not saying so for confidentiality but is there a chance he has had concussions? This is a big issue in our country lately. The brain injury association is putting most of their financial energy (frustrating for me with a child who has an acquired brain injury but I get them jumping on a "hot topic" when there is money to be collected, they do a lot of great work/support/advocacy/research etc... but still....) into this topic. We have had cases of people killing themselves, developing major depression, having memory issues, impulse control issues, etc... they are seeing in the brains of people (after they die) who were athletes who had many smaller concussions, that they have this syndrome that develops and their brains show terrible changes. [url]http://www.boston.com/sports/articles/2007/02/02/i_dont_want_anyone_to_end_up_like_me/?camp=pm[/url] may not be related at all to your situation but just thought it was worth mentioning..... sorry for the problems, it is really sad.
