Concussions are scary. Mr. Evans had a concussion over the summer and he didn't even know the day of the week for about an hour. Thank you for highlighting this important topic.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought that boys get more concussions. I was also surprised that it takes girls longer to recover from concussions, very interesting!
