Hello. I just read through your question.
The most encouraging part about the story, is that he did not lose consciousness at the time of impact. Bruising can take days to weeks before it heals. Headaches can persist for several days after the injury. This does not mean that there is anything bad going on neurologically. You can treat the headaches with tylenol or motrin, and give the bruise more time to heal.
