Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen's prognosis good after falling from a horse

Hindustan Times  

Jim Pillen was in intensive care at an Omaha hospital Monday after undergoing a medical procedure to treat an injured spleen suffered when he was bucked off a horse. Pillen was slated to leave intensive care sometime later Monday, though he was expected to remain at the Nebraska Medical Center for at least another day. Doctors passed a wire into the arteries near the spleen and placed coils there to stop the bleeding, said Dr. Hillman Terzian, a Nebraska Medicine trauma surgeon. Being in intensive care is normal for people with a spleen injury similar to Pillen's and with rib fractures at his age, Terzian said.
