The condition of an 18-month-old
girl who was hospitalized yesterday with heat stroke has
worsened, sources at the Meyer Children's Hospital in Florence
said Wednesday.
The infant, who is in an induced coma, had been left in a
car for three to four hours in the coastal town of Vada in
Livorno province.
Doctors said she has suffered complications and may be at
risk of nerve damage.
Her mother told police she had a "memory lapse" while taking
her two daughters to nursery school and summer camp. She dropped
the six-year-old off at camp and went to work instead of taking
the younger child to nursery school first.
It was only at lunchtime that she remembered her youngest
was still in the car, and alerted emergency services.
