A TODDLER who survived a fall from her 10th floor home in east China's Zhejiang Province is recovering quickly and can even sing some songs since she woke from her coma, her mother said over the weekend.
Two-year-old Zhang Fangyu, better known as Niu Niu, had been unconscious since she fell out the window of her home in Hangzhou on July 2 until last Tuesday.
"Niu Niu can sing some nursery rhymes now. She has sung four songs to me," Xinhua news agency quoted her mother as saying.
Niu Niu's fall was broken by 31-year-old Wu Juping, who tried to catch the toddler. But she still suffered serious internal injuries. Wu fractured her left forearm when the girl crashed onto her.
After Niu Niu was sent to the intensive care unit at Zhejiang Provincial Children's Hospital, her mother tried to wake her by singing several of her favorite songs.
"That Niu Niu can remember so many songs indicates her brain functions are recovering well," said her mother.
"Yesterday Niu Niu drank 10 milliliters of milk after two weeks of not eating," Xinhua quoted the toddler's father.
Niu Niu is in a relatively stable condition, said her doctor, Zhang Chenmei, but there were still some problems with her left limbs.
Wu is also improving rapidly and expected to leave hospital in about a month, said doctors at the Fuyang TCM Orthopedic Hospital.
