Concussion Recovery [Morgan's Story] (2016)

Morgan: My name is Morgan Maxfield. I've had somewhere between four and six concussions, and I just finished a week here at Cognitive FX. When I came in, I was having pretty severe headaches. I would start my day without a headache by the time, I was out the door going to school I was at a 4, by the time I'd been through my first period class I was at 6, and by the time I got home I was at 8. It really caused a lot of problems, I couldn't concentrate on reading; I couldn't comprehend the reading; the headaches and just the brain fog in general were really inhibiting to me.

But, after a week here at Cognitive FX, I feel like the brain fog has lifted. My headaches are down significantly. The worst headache I've had since my week here has been a level 4. I really feel like it helped and was worth it. It was good.

Morgan’s Mother: But that's only one of the symptoms; you forgot all the other ones. If he got up at seven in the morning, by 7:45, he was exhausted. He could not get through the day without a nap, he'd take a nap at lunch, he was missing out on social life at school; as a senior in high school, that's a big deal. He'd get home and couldn't concentrate on homework, and it was all he could do to stay awake long enough to wait for a bed time, to go to bed at a reasonable time. Memory was really spotty, and he had spots in his vision. It was everywhere; he had spots everywhere. But, probably the biggest symptom that I didn't even realize until after our first consultation with Cognitive FX when he actually realized that there was a possibility of having a normal life, he started to open up to me about a lot of other symptoms he'd been experiencing, and never told me. The one that really got to me was the facial recognition. He said couldn't close his eyes and be able to describe somebody that he had just been talking to including me, his mother. So that was pretty dramatic. It's all better.
It's been shocking to watch him as the week has gone through, to see the differences and the very first thing I picked him up for lunch on the first day, and the volume of his voice, he was soft-spoken and he's never been a yeller; he's never been loud and obnoxious, but it was a shocking change that I wasn't expecting. That has now changed and every day there was just something a little bit more, and then at the end of Wednesday, he came home and said what are you doing? He is telling me that one of the exercises, they had to memorize random lists of words and I said like what, I expected him to give me two or three options and he rattles off 25 words, totally random words in groups of five.
Morgan: It was helicopter, pizza, bed, shoes, and Moon. I still remember that.
Morgan’s Mother: That was not possible.
Morgan: I think, I could probably do all 30 of them right now.
Morgan’s Mother: The Friday before he started this, that was not possible and by Wednesday by the third day, he is doing it. It's nothing short of a miraculous blessing. I've got my boy back.
