My 18 year old son has a stage 4 lacerated spleen injury received during a skiing accident.  He was in ICU for two days and the trauma unit for four while he was closely monitored.  They also did a Splenic atery Embolization.  When they got in there they found that the bleeds they thought they saw were not there so they dud not have to put any coils in.  He has been home for 2 days and wants to go back to school.  My question is...is he still at risk for bleeding within the spleen.  I am so nervous of internal bleeding happening while he is in school.
He should be OK to go back to school bit should avoid any contact sports or rough physical activity for at least 4-6 weeks.
