Story highlights Baby Lily was trapped in the car in the cold river for as long as 14 hours

"She knows everything she knew before anything happened. It's amazing," father says

Lily's mother, Lynn Jennifer Groesbeck, died in the crash

(CNN) The father of baby Lily, found by rescuers after her mother's car flipped into a river, says she's doing great and that he feels blessed.

Rescuers found the toddler Saturday hanging upside down in the car, which had crashed into a frigid Utah river a day before.

Lily's mother, Lynn Jennifer Groesbeck, died in the crash that had landed their car on its roof in the Spanish Fork River. She was 25.

Deven Trafny, 34, was out of town on a job at the time of the accident, CNN affiliate KUTV reported. He rushed to his daughter's side as soon as he heard.

"(I) came in, I put my finger in her hand, and I told her her Dad was here, and I love her," he told reporters Wednesday. "I haven't left her bedside since, and I've just been here just sitting next to her waiting for her to get better so she can come home."
