More than 10 weeks since a 5-year-old boy was thrown over a third-floor railing at the Mall of America, the youngster has endured many medical procedures addressing a host of serious injuries throughout his body that will keep him hospitalized indefinitely, according to his family.

The Woodbury family of the boy, who is named Landen, has been posting news of their son's recovery on a GoFundMe page that has raised more than $1 million since the random attack on April 12 by a 24-year-old man.
