According to first responders, she was found barely breathing, covered in debris, and suffering from severe facial injuries and exposure. \u201cIt was a miracle we found her alive,\u201d one paramedic said. \u201cBut what we saw when we pulled her out\u2026 was something I\u2019ll never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"869\" data-end=\"1266\">Rushed to a local hospital and placed in intensive care, the child has since regained consciousness, but doctors say she\u2019s in a fragile and highly traumatized state. What\u2019s most heartbreaking, however, is her family\u2019s reaction. \u201cI didn\u2019t know it was her,\u201d her mother reportedly said between sobs. \u201cI looked into her eyes and prayed it wasn\u2019t true\u2026 but those eyes were the only thing I recognized.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"div-ads-2\">\n<div class=\"netlink-banner-ad\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"1268\" data-end=\"1595\">Hospital sources say her injuries are the result of prolonged exposure to contaminated floodwater, debris trauma, and possible facial swelling from an allergic reaction or infection.
