The young woman we wrote about in May has won her life-or-death battle against
necrotizing fasciitis or flesh-eating disease. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy played some role—we don't know the details—in Aimee Copeland's recovery from a rare and serious bacterial infection. In June her family
released a photo of her enjoying some outdoor time and preparing for rehabilitation. Yesterday they announced she will
return home sometime in August. Pretty moving stuff after such a trying ordeal. Cheers to the Copelands and congratulations to the entire staff at
Doctors Hospital in Augusta, Georgia.
