Easton Oliverson just crossed another huge milestone in his road to recovery … the Little League World Series player is now walking — just days after he suffered severe head injuries in a fall from his bunk bed.
Oliverson’s family shared a video on their social media page on Friday showing the Snow Canyon Little League pitcher/outfielder standing up and walking with the help of medical personnel.
“We are at a loss for words,” the family said in the caption. “There are none that seem fitting other than: God is Good. SO GOOD!?”
“We love our Easton so much. Thank you for loving, and supporting him with us. Keep the prayers coming- he’s getting stronger every day!”
The 12-year-old initially fractured his skull on Sunday after falling off his bed at the players’ dormitory complex in Williamsport, Penn.
Things looked dire for Easton the night of the accident — he was actually placed in a medically induced coma — but, he’s since shown a ton of progress, and appears to be on his way to a full recovery.
As for his team, it’s slated to play in its first game of the LLWS later Friday — and Easton’s little brother, Brogan, is expected to take his spot in the lineup for the big contest.
