A toddler who miraculously survived a fall from her 10th-floor home in east China's Zhejiang Province woke from a coma Tuesday and called for her mom and dad, her doctor said.

The two-year-old girl, nicknamed Niu Niu, had been unconscious after she fell out the window of her home near Hangzhou on July 2.

"Her eyes opened slightly this morning, and she called out to her mom and dad when they entered the ward," said Dr. Zhang Chenmei at Zhejiang Provincial Children's Hospital.

Zhang also observed the child made eye contact with her parents during their 30-minute meeting.

"She seems conscious again, but the left side of her body remains numb," the doctor said.

Niu Niu survived the high-rise fall after a neighbor tried to catch her and prevented the child from hitting ground at full force.

Niu Niu was in critical condition with serious internal injuries when she was sent to hospital.

"Now that her heartbeat, blood pressure and pulse are all normal, we can assume she's out of danger," the doctor said.

Wu Juping, the neighbor who saved Niu Niu and mother of a seven-month-old boy, suffered a fracture of her left arm in her heroic effort.
