He also quit rough-housing with his brother and ultimately gave up jumping on the backyard trampoline, too; all to avoid any contact to his head. At only 10 years old, Jimmy was suffering from frequent and severe migraines, some lasting as long as six weeks. He slowly gave up most physical activity in favor of lying down, hoping to stave off the waves of nausea and pain that swept over him. “It was horrible – as a parent, you feel like you let your chi…
