Holan, Baby Come Home

The Mighty Ducks’ Milos Holan is home from the hospital again--along with a new baby.

Holan and his wife, Irena, conceived their second child last fall after learning that Holan had a slow-progressing form of leukemia and would require a bone-marrow transplant, a dangerous procedure that probably would make it impossible to have more children.

The baby was born last week, and Holan was released from City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte on Monday.

“His name is Milos Jr., and he’s healthy and at home with his dad,” said Holan’s agent, Rich Winter.

Holan, 24, underwent a marrow transplant Feb. 21 and was released from the hospital in April. But a complication known as graft-versus-host disease, common when the donor is not related to the recipient, caused serious setbacks that required Holan to be hospitalized again.

“Everything looks good,” Winter said, “but there’s lots of room for improvement.”
