Patient Stories & Highlights

Saydee’s story

Saydee sustained a concussion and a black eye and chipped her teeth during a softball game. After being treated through the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Concussion Program, she is now back on the field and ready to play.

2015 November Comeback Athlete: Holland Carlton

After a concussion landed Holland at the doctor’s office, a CT scan revealed the last thing she and her family expected—a brain tumor. In March 2015, Holland underwent a nine-hour surgery to remove the growth. After the procedure, she had to relearn routine daily activities at the Children’s Inpatient Rehabilitation Program. She is now back on the field playing soccer and is preparing for the upcoming tryouts for the varsity team.
