Little League Player Recovering From Head Injury

The 12-year-old Little League World Series player who underwent surgery after suffering a head injury Monday when he fell from the top bunk at the LLWS dorm complex has been moved out of intensive care and is able to sit up, eat, and walk with support, his family said Thursday.

A post on an Instagram account set up by Easton Oliverson’s family said, “He has been communicating more frequently . . . His voice has been significantly more clear when he talks! He asked [his mother] Nancy about his hair, and why he was there.”

A video with the post showed Easton drinking and feeding himself.
