Frozen Baby Likely To Keep Fingers

                   TORONTO (AP) - A feeding tube running from her nose,
                   13-month-old Erika Nordby babbled and played with a
microphone
                   Friday as her mother said the toddler may not lose any
fingers or
                   toes, despite being frozen and having her heart stop for
two
                   hours.

                   Despite fears of brain damage, problems with internal
organs and
                   severe frostbite, Erika has made an almost complete
recovery.

                   "What an incredible journey we've all been on," Nordby
said,
                   reading from a prepared statement. "At this point in
time, Erika will
                   require some rehabilitation and there's a good chance
she'll keep all
                   her fingers and toes."
