>>(Specifically, being hit square in the face with a Little League baseball. My nephew in San Diego got hit about 6 weeks ago or so and they thought it was okay, but he's now suffering loss of memory, nose bleeds, vision and hearing problems. They're on their third neurologist at three San Diego hospitals and now feel they've found one who takes it seriously [USC San Diego or something like that]).<< Get that child to a neurosurgeon. They have much more knowledge about trauma cases than do ordinary neurologists. It is probably "normal after-effects" (the symnptoms), but it could me more significant.
