(CNN) The 5-year-old who was thrown off a third-floor balcony at the Mall of America in Minnesota earlier this month is 'alert and conscious,' his family said.

"All praise, glory and honor to Jesus! He saved our son's life and is healing him in the most miraculous ways. We are so elated to let you know that our son is now alert and conscious and is no longer in critical condition!," the family said in a statement.

The boy, who has not been publicly identified, was in critical condition immediately after the incident on April 12. His family said last week that he was still in intensive care.

The family is hoping the boy will be released from the hospital by June, the statement said, as they will now focus on additional surgeries, healing, and rehabilitation.

In the statement, the family also thanked the community for their continued prayers and support.
