Media outlets report that Robert Wood Jr. was released from VCU Medical Center in Richmond over the weekend. The Caroline County boy suffered a small hole in his esophagus and other minor injuries.
Wood wandered off from his father and others Oct. 23 while on a walk at North Anna Battlefield Park in Hanover County. One of the thousands of volunteers who searched for the boy found him at a nearby rock quarry on Oct. 28.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children says the search for Wood ranks among the most intense on record. More than 3,400 people participated in the search.
