Advice on dealing with a possible concussion
Our children all participate in your primary Care octor or the
contact sports activities. Is the pos-
sibility of head injury a serious
risk to their health? "
Most children and adolescents en-
gage in activities - not solely related
to organized sports - where they
could sustain a head injury and/or
concussion. Generally, children re-
cover completely. However, concus-
sions that result from head injury can
pose serious health risks and even re-
sult in death.
How would we know if our
child has a concussion?
Common physical symptoms in-
clude headaches or pressure in the
head, nausea or vomiting, dizziness,
ringing in the ears. blurred vision,
numbness or tingling. The child may
also have difficulty paying attention',
temporary memory lapses, confusion
and general sluggishness or groggi-
ness. Not all children experience all
these symptoms, and symptoms may
be subtle or not appear for several
days. Consequently, concussions
often go unrecognized in children.
Is a child more likely to have a
concussion if there is a visible
bump on the head?
Head bumps occur commonly
and generally are not serious. Be-
cause there is an abundant blood
supply to the forehead and scalp,
bruising and swelling occurs. Con-
cussions are a traumatic brain injury
where the blow to the head jars or
shakes the brain inside the skull.
How do we protect our Child?
Talk to your child about the im-
portance of telling you about any
Gary Peterson, M.D.
head blow, even those that occur
during sports practices. Explain that
even a mild head blow can cause a
concussion and it may occur without
losing consciousness. Insist that your
child use igrotective equipment, par,
ticularly properly fitted helmets.
What should we do if we think
our child has a concussion?
If your child is knocked uncon-
scious for more than a minute, does-
n't remember what happened that
caused the impact or experiences re-
peated vomiting, seizures, or even
obvious mental dysfunction or pro-
nounced lack of physical coordina-
tion, take your child to the
emergency center. If you suspect a
concussion but symptoms are not se-
vere, make an appointment with
child's pediatrician. Your doctor will
determine if your child has a con-
cussion, and if so, monitor your
child's safe return to sports and other
activities.
What are the after effects of
having a concussion?
If a young athlete wlao has had a
prior concussion that is still healing
gets another blow to the head, it can
result in 'second impact syndrome or
brain swelling that proves fatal.
Young athletes who have experi-
enced a concussion may alo de-
velop post concussion syndrome
where they are plaguedby persistent
headaches, dizziness, irritability and
depression.
Can our child return to playing
sports after a concussion?
No one of any age who experi-
ences a concussion should return to
sports activities the same day or as
long as there are still active symp-
toms of concussion. Following ap-
propriate rest and your doctor's
approval, your child should be able
to safely return to the sport.

Engineer soldiers receive alert for possible mobilization
DICKINSON - Soldiers assigned
to the North Dakota Army National
Guard's Dickinson-based 816th En-
• gineer Company (Horizontal) have
received an alert notification for pos-
sible mobilization. The unit also has
a detachment in Mutt.
If mobilized, more than 150 sol-
diers with the unit are expected to
serve in support of Operation Endur-
ing Freedom Afghanistan in early
2015. This would be the first over-
seas mobilization for soldiers of the
816th Engineer Company in support
of the Global War on Terrorism since
the unit was re-designated with this
number in 2006. PreviouSly, the unit
was designated as Company C, 164th
Engineer Battalion. Members of this
unit deployed to Iraq from December
2003 to February 2005 with the
North Dakota Guard's 141st Engi-
neer Battalion.
"The 816th Engineer Company is
a well trained unit equipped with
earthmoving equipment which pro-
vides a tremendous capability to the
force," Maj. Gen. David Sprynczy-
natyk, Nort Dakota adjutant gen-
eral, said in a prepared statement.
"Their significant contributions to
our state and commumties during our
emergency flood response in 2009
and 2011 were extremely appreci-
ated. If deployed, the soldiers can
rely on the superb support of their
families, friends and employers dur-
ing this important mission away from
honie."
North Dakota Army National
Guard units that are currently mobi-
lized overseas include the Bismarck-
based 814th Medical Company (Area
Support) in Afghanistan and Com-
pany C, 2nd Battalion, 285th Avia-
