Luke Holko continues to fight and some positive results are finally starting to result.  Luke is pictured here with his parents, Nicole and Chad Holko.  This photo was taken right before the ball hit Luke and started what is now a three week ordeal for this family.  Nicole and Chad have not left Luke’s side since the incident happened on September 2. 

Luke was given an EEG to measure brain activity on Tuesday.  The results showed that Luke is in a “locked-in” state, meaning he is trapped in himself right now.  It is not technically a coma anymore.  He can now see and hear but cannot respond or communicate back yet.  Bruising must go down some more before he can be expected to respond normally.  He is also moving his arms and legs without stimulation to trigger voluntary movement.

It is all good news as of this writing.  Luke is no longer in intensive care and will be moved to a rehabilitation facility in Cleveland.

It should be noted that the Holko’s are not running around with their hands extended seeking donations.  The extended family and friends have conducted several fundraisers.  Nicole was quoted as saying, “I would hand over every gift, every dollar, every card…everything I have… to have my son vibrant and healthy again.”  Chad and Nicole are grateful for the support.

Continued prayer and support to the Holko’s through this very difficult time!
