The 5-year-old is the only survivor of the tragedy. Giovanni La Valle, director of the City of Health of Turin, to News Mediaset: “He is still dazed, but his breathing is autonomous. He recognized his aunt”
“For a moment – adds La Valle – little Eitan regained consciousness”. Beside him, in addition to the anesthesiologists and psychologists of the Regina Margherita children’s hospital in Turin, there was his aunt Aya, sister of his father who died with his mother and two-year-old brother in the cabin of the crashed cable car.
“He is still dazed, but his breathing is autonomous – explains La Valle -. He recognized his aunt, who is next to him. Now comes the hardest part because there is awareness. There is a psychological support that will assist him and that, together with his aunt and grandmother, he will have to tell him the truth “.
“This is a very delicate phase – say the doctors of the intensive care unit directed by Giorgio Ivani -. The night passed quietly and confirms the clinical stability of the child despite the critical conditions. The fact that we were able to extubate him is a positive fact” . When he opened his eyes, therefore, Eitan found himself in front of the familiar face of his aunt. The prognosis remains confidential and the next few hours are awaited to complete the
awakening.
