Oliverson, whose nickname is “Tank”, is being treated at Geisinger Janet Weis Children’s Hospital in Danville, Pennsylvania.
“We are so grateful and blessed to have witnessed another miracle in Easton’s recovery!”
The young athlete was flown to a children’s hospital in critical condition on August 15. His father told CNN he was “fighting for his life,” with doctors saying he was just 30 minutes from death. He underwent surgery and was placed in a medically induced coma.
In the days since, Oliverson has made impressive strides toward recovery, as documented on the @miraclesfortank account. By Wednesday he was no longer sedated and by Thursday he was exiting an intensive care unit and able to support himself.
The Instagram account also noted on Saturday that Oliverson may be able to return to Utah this week as doctors at the Pennsylvania hospital have been in touch with Salt Lake City’s Primary Children’s Hospital to make “travel plans” and hope to see him have back in utah by tuesday.
On Sunday, “Oliverson got to see his little brother, his cousin and his best friends (who are more like brothers). They brought him lots of goodies from all the Little League World Series teams.”
Oliverson’s little league team, Snow Canyon of Utah, was eliminated from the (LLWS) Sunday night, losing 10-2 to Davenport Little League team of Iowa in a rain-delayed showdown.
Oliverson’s father Jace told ABC’s Good Morning America on Monday that he was “pushing forward” to get through his son’s tough recovery process.
“Doctors are just stunned by his progress in the short time he’s been,” Jace said.
