The Longest 15 Days

What do you do for 15 days with an active 8 year old when he's been told to basically do nothing if he wants his brain to heal?

Here are a couple of examples of creativity:

1. Draw tattoos of his favorite sports teams all over his arms and legs. It does keep him still!




2. Listen to vidoes on how to - curve sticks, make a "defender" etc.

3. Actually curve the sticks (over the stove, but don't tell mom)



4. Make a "defender."





5. LOTS of bored games, I mean board games!

6. Hang out with the dog.



7. Hang out with your sisters (shhhh, he won't want anyone to known this) :)

And after 15 days, we returned to the concussion clinic to learn that he is doing VERY well. The Physical Therapist was very impressed with his balance and his endurance. So you will see below he was allowed to be back on the ice!!! Nothing fancy, but he was happy to lace up the skates and shoot on a real net!





Thanks for all the support.
