Flesh-eating bacteria survivor is finally back home with her family
I have some truly great news about Aimee Copeland to share: After spending more than three months in the hospital due to a devastating flesh-eating bacteria diagnosis, the 24-year-old Georgia woman is home with her family now.
Anyone who's followed Copeland's harrowing story knows that this young lady is a fighter. Copeland was diagnosed with the rare, flesh-eating disease back in May of 2012. Doctors believe she contracted the infection while zip lining. Now, after multiple operations and months of rehabilitation, Aimee is home and learning to live again.
