responds "positively"
although his situation is still "critical".
"The child's response is positive, with coughing attacks, some movements and moments of spontaneous breathing, but as a precaution we are very calm and careful because the clinical situation continues to be critical," said the general director of the Città hospital complex. della Salute from Turin, Giovanni La Valle, to the Italian media.
"If the clinical situation remains stable, the wish is that he can be extubated on Wednesday morning," he added.
Eitan lost his father, mother, brother, and two of his grandparents.
He is
the only survivor of his family
in the accident, in which 14 people died, including three other children.
