Kids take longer to recover after multiple concussions

Kids take longer to recover after multiple concussions

Children and adolescents who suffer a concussion have a significantly longer recovery time if they have had a concussion in the past. In the study, “Time Interval Between Concussions and Symptom Duration,” in the July 2013 Pediatrics, researchers studied 280 patients between the ages of 11 and 22 who were treated in the emergency department for concussion symptoms.

A whisker might as well be the universal symbol of happiness, just ask any pet parent you meet.  Wherever there are whiskers, rest assured there are memories to be made and good times to be had.  Whether you adopt a dog or a cat, do not be afraid to get a whisker or two in the face.  It normally means a kiss for you and a smile to go with it.  For whiskers do not just tickle your face, they also warm your heart. 

This feline Friend will fill your heart with so much love; he just had to be named Mr. Whiskers.  He is such a sweet, stately gentleman!  So of course you will find him always wearing his tux.   Mr. Whiskers has a very laid-back personality, and wants nothing more in the world than to snuggle and feel loved.  He is extremely affectionate and would be happiest in a quiet home where he can soak up all the attention!  He gets along with the other cats in his room well, and is very easy-going.  Bring home the best whiskers you can today!

To adopt Mr. Whiskers, contact One of a Kind Pets in Akron at 330-865-6200, email ooak@oneofakindpets.com, or visit www.oneofakindpets.com.
