The video, posted to the @miraclesfortank account, showed Easton thanking people for their prayers and encouraging them to keep him on their minds.
“Hi everyone, this is Easton – thanks for all your prayers,” Easton said. “Please keep praying for me as I get better and better. I know the prayers and blessings have worked and that Heavenly Father is blessing me.”
Easton, whose nickname is “Tank”, was scheduled to compete in the Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania with his Utah-based Snow Canyon Little League team, but suffered a fractured skull after falling out of a bunk bed in the players’ dormitories.
Since his fall on August 15, Easton has made significant strides in his recovery, including awakening from a medically induced coma and eating without a feeding tube.
Easton had been treated at Geisinger Janet Weis Children’s Hospital in Danville, Pennsylvania, but was transferred to Salt Lake City Tuesday, a post said Monday.
“While this is a huge step forward, it is bittersweet to leave behind the people who put their hearts and souls into Easton’s recovery. THANK YOU to every single one at Geisinger Hospital who played a role in caring for and saving our boy,” the post read.
The post also expressed gratitude to the doctors who “saved Easton’s life.”
“You’ve taken every step of Easton’s journey from night one to this point with love, precision, intelligence and care. We have and will always have the utmost respect for doctors.”
The update noted that while Easton has made remarkable strides toward recovery, he “still has a long way to go.”
It has been two weeks since the Little Leaguer underwent critical surgery following his fall in the Little League World Series dormitories in Williamsport.
To prepare for his return to Utah, Easton had “received physical therapy and worked on various skills,” according to the Instagram account.
Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that the video was Easton’s first public speaking session since his injury.
