We went riding yesterday and he hit the ground VERY hard...
I am afraid if he had a concussion since he is sleeping... Just pray.... I know Jesus can control anything! :D

I also understand that not waking up is a myth, and that rest is the best thing... But he is very young and hit his head extremely hard! I don't want anything to happen such as memory loss or fatigue or mood swings or what ever...

True, but maybe it's a good a idea to take him to a hospital too.

'If you are around someone who has a head injury or possible concussion, monitor the symptoms closely. It is important to call a doctor or go to a hospital immediately if the person has worrisome symptoms such as:

  • Open wound in the scalp or misshapen deformity of the skull
  • Severe or progressive worsening headache
  • Changes in behavior (eg, confusion, restlessness, irritability, lethargy)
  • Dilated pupils or pupils of different sizes
  • Convulsions or seizures
  • Difficulty waking from sleep
  • Trouble walking or speaking
  • Bleeding or drainage of fluids from nose or ears
  • Unusual sleepiness or decreasing alertness
  • Severe or persistent nausea, or vomiting more than twice
  • Weakness or numbness in the arms or legs
When a head injury is serious enough to require medical care, a doctor will give you instructions on how to monitor and treat the injury once the person is released from the hospital or clinic. These instructions will generally not include keeping the person awake and alert.'

He is doing great, we are like 99% sure his knee was dislocated... I moved his knee when he was on the ground and he just sat up and smiled...
The bruising on around the knee cap is screaming that it was dislocated...

But he is doing great, no concussion what so ever!
