There are positive first signs from the University Hospital of Turin, where 15-year-old Dimitris from Farsala is being treated after undergoing a liver transplant two days ago, following a severe case of heatstroke.

His attending physicians express cautious optimism regarding his recovery, as according to ifarsala, Dimitris opened his eyes today and began to respond — a crucial step toward restoring his health. He had remained sedated for nine days, and doctors are now closely observing his condition, expecting a gradual full awakening over the next few hours.
