Are Worsening Handwriting, Spastic Movements, Confusion And Lack Of Logical Reasoning After A Head Injury Serious Concerns?

My GF s daughter (10 years old) is having all these symptoms for the last 3 weeks and we think it s due to a fall. She hit her head at school and still has some tenderness (3 weeks later). Her handwriting is getting worse, she has been making these sort of spastic movements (similar to someone on drugs), she is not thinking clearly (apparently couldn t get her pants on this morning because she was only using one of her hands while the other fist was closed. She didn t grasp the concept of using both hands and gave up. Her school work has dropped off drastically and she was previously a good student. Simple projects that would take her 10 mins previously now take 2 hours. We re afraid she might have some sort of swelling on the brain or something? Do these symptoms go along with some head injury? For the record - her mother is taking her to Urgent care right now.
