2 Concussions in 3 days = no sports for a season

 Telling Austin he can't play sports, run, jump, catch balls etc is like telling a swimmer he can't come up for air.  

And we had to do it.

After 2 concussions in 3 days (one from falling on his head during soccer practice and the 2nd felling on a money bar after his legs were kicked out from under him), Austin was put on the bench from everything physical for 2 months.  No exceptions.  No recess. No running.  He has been a great sport about it, but the reality of what it means for him hasn't been very fun day in and day out.  But we want our boy to be okay in his adult life, so we are enforcing this on our end the best we can do!
