MiLB.com had a story on Luke Holko today, including a link to a web site that has been set up to provide updates on his condition. The most recent post, published by his mother Nicole about half an hour ago, is hopeful:
So…today my precious baby boy moved his eyes and eyelids and his mouth!!! God is showing us little signs each and every day! He squeezed papa’s hand today and coughed alot when suctioned. He get anxious when he hears them getting ready to do that or start meds so his ICP’s go up…last night was a little of a rough nite so the started sedating him more…which from what i’ve been told is a good thing cause its a sign he’s becoming more aware of his surroundings! His vitals go a little up and down but overall remain close to the same through out the day…
Not gonna lie, it got a little dusty in my living room when I read that first sentence. Keep fighting, kid.
Donations can also be made through that web site to help with Luke’s medical costs. The surrounding community, the Mahoning Valley Scrappers, other New York-Penn League teams, and the Cleveland Indians have all made generous contributions of time and money thus far.
