Brain swelling has subsided in a 4-year-old Ohio boy whose skull was fractured when he was hit by a foul ball at a minor league baseball game, doctors said.
Luke Holko can move his arms and legs and appears to blink his eyes when spoken to, but he can't talk. Doctors at Akron Children's Hospital said a brain stem injury is healing but it could take months or years to determine how well he'll recover.
"There is a very good chance Luke will make a good recovery," Dr. James Besunder said. "After three weeks, to see Luke where he's at is very encouraging."
