As the news coming from Japan only gets grimmer amid growing nuclear fears, continued aftershocks and the threat of of another tsunami, one family received a miracle in a pink jacket.

Against the odds, a 4-month-old baby who had survived for three days was pulled from the rubble in Ishinomaki, in the state of Miyagi, today, the Daily Mail reported.

A Japan Self-Defense Force member holds a 4-month-old baby girl rescued from the rubble in Ishinomaki, northern Japan, three days after a powerful earthquake-triggered tsunami hit the country's east coast.

The infant was apparently safe and unharmed, and was reunited with her father after she was spotted by member of Japan's Self-Defense Force who had gone house to house looking for bodies.
