The ped instructed us to let her go back to school for limited hours afterward, and let dd decide what she felt she could handle. So she was at school, generally for about 2 hours.
I had her call me when she needed to come home. Her spleen, after a week or so, did finally enlarge so she was forbidden to go to dance, P.
