The father of an 18-month-old girl who was rescued from a wrecked car 14 hours after it plunged into a frigid Utah river has revealed her incredible progress in a video taken from hospital . Lily Groesbeck was released from Primary Children 's Hospital on Wednesday , four days after her mother 's wrecked car was spotted overturned and partially submerged in a river in Spanish Fork . Lily 's mother , 25-year-old Lynn Groesbeck , was killed in the crash but emergency responders found that the little girl was miraculously alive . ' I 'm blessed , ' Lily 's father , 34-year-old Deven Trafny , told KUTV . I 'm counting all my blessings right now ... She should be gone . She should n't be here right now . I 'm overwhelmed with joy right now . ' Scroll down for video . Safe : Dad Deven Trafny smiles as he looks at his daughter , Lily Groesbeck , in a video taken in hospital and released by the family . Lily has now left the hospital after surviving for 14 hours in a car wreck . On the mend : Trafny is seen playing with his daughter , who is back to her normal self , he has said . He also shared a video of Lily waving shyly at the camera in hospital as he holds her in his arms . He said the toddler has been watching cartoons and laughing with her family members , and remembers everything she knew before the crash . While caring for little Lily , Trafny is trying to comprehend losing the 'love of my life ' , his fiancée Lynn . 'That 's kind of a hard situation for me right now , ' he said . ' I have n't really wrapped my head around that . She was the love of my life and I 'm going to miss her a lot . I still have to deal with that . ' A fisherman spotted the car on Saturday , the day after it hit a cement barrier on a bridge and careened into the river in Spanish Fork , about 50 miles south of Salt Lake City . According to the Deseret News , the angler called a non-emergency line and said : 'Are you guys aware there 's a car in the river on the south end of Spanish Fork , Main Street , over the bridge ? I did n't see anybody when I came in here and I ca n't see in the car . ' Emotional : He said he is overjoyed and shocked that Lily survived the crash but that he is mourning 'the love of my life ' - Lily 's mother , Lynn Groesbeck , who was found dead in the wreckage . Then four minutes later , the same caller dialed 911 directly and said : 'There 's a car in the river . It 's upside down off of Main Street and there is a person inside . I can see a hand . ' Rescuers found the unconscious baby girl strapped into her car seat , where she had been hanging upside down for 14 hours as icy water flowed through the car . In a bizarre twist , emergency responders said they had heard desperate pleas from the mother inside the car , even though she had likely been killed on impact . They reported hearing cries of : 'Help me ! Help me ! ' Rescuers have said they are trying to figure out how they had heard the mother 's voice . Family : The couple pose for a picture with their baby daughter , who has now left the hospital with just bruises . Mystery : Emergency responders said they arrived on the scene and heard Lynn calling out for help - but later realized she had died on impact . They said they are trying to fathom how they heard her voice . Officer Tyler Beddoes said : 'For two nights I 've laid awake trying to figure out exactly what it could be . All I know is it was there , we all heard it . It was extra motivation . ' Beddoes said he and officers formed a line in the river and handed the cold girl to one another until she was on the shoreline and in emergency workers ' arms . They rushed her to an ambulance and performed CPR . It is still unclear how she managed to survive with no food or water , but a doctor told CNN that when someone suffers from hypothermia , their metabolism slows and their oxygen intake reduces , becoming 'neuro-protective ' . Jill Sanderson , Lynn 's sister , said her sister was enrolled at Provo College with a goal of becoming a medical assistant , and had lived in the Provo area her entire life . When Lily was retreived from the car , police officers handed the cold girl to one another until she reached the shore and emergency workers could rush her to the hospital . Police were investigating what caused the crash but say Lynn Groesbeck could have been distracted or drowsy . Spanish Fork police Lieutenant Matt Johnson told KUTV that investigators found a bag of what looks marijuana in the car , along with a bottle of 16 pills they think are pain medications and an opened syringe . He said they wo n't know if drugs contributed to the crash until toxicology reports came back in several weeks .
