The 4-year-old Brooklyn boy who survived a horrific crash that killed his mother and sisters continues to fight for his life, as officials revealed Wednesday that he had a kidney removed.
Philip Saada remains in critical condition at Maimonides Medical Center, officials told The Post after visiting the grieving family.
“It’s heartbreaking,” city Comptroller Brad Lander said as he left the Brooklyn home after visiting with the family as they sat shiva. “He’s still in critical condition. He lost one kidney but they are hopeful about his prognosis.”

His father, Sidney Saada, was home with the couple’s youngest child at the time.
His 32-year-old wife, Natasha Saada, was crossing the street after leaving a synagogue with the three children — Philip, Diana, 8, and Debra, 5 — when they were mowed down and killed by a speeding car, police said.
Miriam Yarimi, a Brooklyn wigmaker who suffered minor injuries, was charged with three counts of second-degree manslaughter, three counts of criminally negligent homicide and four counts of second-degree assault for the other four people hurt in the crash.

She is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday morning.
Yarimi, 35, was driving nearly double the speed limit when her Audi allegedly struck an Uber, flipped and mowed down the family, police and sources said.
She allegedly had a suspended license, and the Audi she was driving was uninsured and had an expired registration when she allegedly blew past a red light, police and sources said.
The controversial wigmaker has a history of posting bizarre and paranoid conspiracy theories on social media, and neighbors said she has claimed she is being followed by the CIA.
Yarimi also has a troubled history with the NYPD — she successfully sued the department claiming she was repeatedly raped by a Brooklyn cop starting when she was 14 years old and settled for $2 million.
In January, she filed a notice of claim — which signals an intent to sue — alleging she was manhandled by cops in October when they showed up to her home to take her to the hospital for a psych evaluation.
She has been held at Bellevue Hospital since the Saturday afternoon accident pending her arraignment.
Also hurt in the crash were another Brooklyn mom and her three children, who were passengers in the Uber and were injured but survived, as did the 63-year-old Uber driver.
“I got knocked out,” Mahbuba Ahmedova, 35, told The Post through tears Tuesday. “When I opened my eyes, I saw two kids were killed, and I thought they were my kids.”
“But my kids were sitting down” on the street, she said.
Ahmedova said her 12-year-old son and daughters, 6 and 4, were bruised and battered in the wreck.
