A little boy saved

Trace, 5, was working on his family's farm when a horse got spooked and stepped on him. He was taken to Cox Monett, where doctors told Trace's father that he had internal bleeding and the situation was grim. He was flown to Cox South Emergency and Trauma Center, where the trauma team rushed him into surgery to repair the damage.
