An 8-year-old girl from Nebraska remains at a Denver hospital a week after her face was crushed in a farm accident.

Drew Stiles of Sidney was listed in fair condition Saturday at The Children's Hospital.

She was injured June 30 when she and her brothers were riding in the bucket of a tractor and were struck by a metal plate that had come loose.

Drew's mother, Donna Bell, says the boys are OK, but every bone in Drew's face was broken except her jaw.

Bell says Drew has had more than 14 hours of surgery to reconstruct her eye sockets, cheekbones, nose and the roof of her mouth. She was given a tracheotomy to breath, and her jaw is wired shut. Several more surgeries are expected in the future.
