Roger Kiska, a solicitor for the Christian Legal Centre, who is supporting the parents Tom and Kate Evans, said: "It's been a miraculous evening to say the least. Everyone anticipated that when life-sustaining measures – that being oxygen and water were removed – that for Alfie it would literally be minutes before he passed away".
After the sustaining treatment was removed, Alfie continued to breathe for 9 hours before he was put back on support.
Alfie's Dad said: "He's still breathing now. It's come to a point when his mum's actually asleep next to him so she can go to sleep, she feels comfortable with him," he said.
Roger Kiska said: "I would say it's a miracle"
"This has led to him being put back on oxygen and hydration"
A High Court judge is set to oversee a further hearing on Alfie's case on Tuesday afternoon as Mr Justice Hayden is scheduled to hear more discussion at a hearing in Manchester.
A spokeswoman said the hearing was due to start at around 3.30pm.
Speaking of what may happen at this hearing, Roger Kiska said: "My gut is telling me that Alder Hey will continue arguing that it's in Alfie's best interests to have life-sustaining measures terminated."
"For Tom and Kate's part – they will say that it's absolute not"
Alfie has been granted Italian citizenship, of which Roger said: "if another hospital is happy to take a look then they should have absolutely have every right, particularly given what happened last night, to seek treatment abroad."
