The family of a five-year-old boy who was thrown off a third-story balcony at the Mall of America two weeks ago has confirmed he is ‘alert and conscious’.
Reading from a family statement, their attorney Stephen Tillitt said Landen Hoffmann had woken up and is no longer in critical condition.
He added: ‘All praise and glory and honor to Jesus. He saved our son’s life and is healing him in the most miraculous ways.
‘We are now turning our focus to additional surgeries, healing, rehabilitation and eventually a return home, which we hope will happen by June.
‘We want to thank each and every one of you for your love, prayers and support.’
A fundraising page has now hit $997,000 to cover little Landen’s medical costs.
It comes less than a week after Mac Hammond, the pastor at the boy’s church in Woodbury, Minnesota, updated the congregation on the child’s condition during an Easter service.
He said the boy recently underwent a five hour MRI test to assess the damage from the traumatic fall on April 12.
‘There was zero evidence of brain damage – there wasn’t even swelling,’ Hammond revealed in a video obtained by Fox9. ‘No spinal chord injury, no nerve damage, no internal injuries that were life-threatening.’
