Emery Burrows On the Mend

Local 7-year-old girl Emery Burrows is back home after a harrowing week. On the evening of Sept. 24, she ran out in front of a vehicle trying to grab her soccer ball which had gone into the road. She suffered a small brain bleed, a skull fracture, and a leg fracture. After being seen at the St. George Regional Hospital, she was flown to Las Vegas for treatment. Local LDS missionaries came to visit, and Burrows received a ton of support from the community. As of Thursday, she is back home and healing.
