Father on daughter's battle against fleshing-eating bacteria: 'its an absolute miracle'
Two Georgia parents are watching, waiting and hoping for the best after a rare, flesh-eating bacteria attacks their daughter. Two weeks ago 24-year-old Aimee Copeland was on a zip lining adventure with friends about 50 miles west of Atlanta near the little Talla-Poosa river.
When Copeland took her turn on the homemade zip line it snapped, and she was left with a gash on her leg that took 22 staples to close.
A few days later, realized she had contracted a flesh-eating bacteria or necrotizing fashee-eyetis and it ravaged her body.
Doctors already amputated her leg and part of her abdomen and she is in danger of losing more limbs.
