May 14, News Article

http://gma.yahoo.com/student-flesh-eating-disease-lose-fingers-133238372--abc-news-topstories.html

I read a sad article about how a young grad student was having fun this weekend with friends and went on there home-made zip line when it snapped and Aimee Copeland crashed down and fell in the river. She cut open her calf and when that happened, she accumulated a flesh eating disease. This rare, but deadly disease caused her to lose her leg, possibly her foot, and now her fingers. It's surprising she's still alive. There's more than a 50% chance that this disease will take her life, but she's still hanging on. This article was really sad to read, and I hope that she can make it through this. Her family and friends are probably all praying for her and she seems like a tough girl so I hope that she can come out of this okay. Her heart has already stopped, but she's still hanging on!
