Merril wrecked his dirt bike going up a hill. He says he doesn't really know what happened but that his side hurts. Maybe a handle bar kicked him in the gut? He got an ultrasound and the doc said he bruised his spleen. Spleen? Sounds made up. lol. We had to look up what is the function of a spleen? It fights invading germs in the blood (the spleen contains infection-fighting white blood cells) it controls the level of blood cells (white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets) it filters the blood and removes any old or damaged red blood cells.
So there you have it. The doc said it should heal on its own but if he starts peeing or vomiting blood, to come back in. 😲 Stellar advice. Hopefully he can take it easy for a bit. That's not really his style but here's hoping! 🤞 I'm glad he's not more hurt.
