As an EMT we are trained to stabilize the impaled object and transport. The object could very easily be applying pressure on arteries or veins, preventing them from bleeding out from the cuts.

That means that if everything is going normally at school a kid is probably going to find school a bit annoying but not such a bad thing that they will refuse to go. There could be a lot of different things affecting your child.
