Mighty Duck defenseman Milos Holan is in stable condition at the City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte after being readmitted to the hospital because of a complication in his recovery from a bone marrow transplant.
Holan returned to the hospital Saturday, two days after going home for the first time since undergoing a Feb. 21 marrow transplant to treat his leukemia.
Dr. David Snyder, associate director of the hospital’s department of hematology and bone marrow transplantation, said Holan’s condition was “a flare-up.” Doctors readmitted Holan so they could administer intravenous medication for a complication known as graft-versus-host disease.
“It’s part of the whole healing process,” Snyder said.
