RUSSELLVILLE, Mo. - Maelyne Cartee, 7, has shown signs of improvement this past week, as she has been treated for head trauma in the intenstive care unit at St. Louis Children's Hospital.
"She is moving all limbs, which is a very good sign," said Mandy Cartee, the Russellville girl's aunt. "She is meeting the goals the doctors have set for her."
Maelyne, the daughter of Danny Cartee and Michelle Cotton, was trampled by a cow Sept. 30 at her Russellville farm.
Miracles for Maelyne has been scheduled for Saturday in downtown Russellville to help raise financial support for her recovery and her family's travel expenses.
A fund to benefit the family also has been established at Community Point Bank.
"She and her parents have a very long road ahead with treatments and care," the fundraiser flyer said.
The local Blackwater Band will perform at the Kid Zone, including a hay maze, bake sale, games and face painting, from 3-6 p.m. Saturday.
A live auction will follow at 6 p.m. Items include an 870 Remington shotgun, hair cut/color, a deer stand, handmade quilts, a month of personal training, Cargill turkeys, a load of wood, whole hog and processing, gift cards to local stores, full family photo session and jewelry.
The group 2 Car Pile Up will perform during a street dance, beginning at 8 p.m.
