Aimee
Copeland had spoken reportedly her first words since her fingers and foot were
removed by surgeons at Doctors Hospital in quest to save her life.
Her first
words have certainly given her family a new hope for her life but one thing is
still certain that Aimee Copeland is likely to remain in hospital for several
months.

The
24-year-old university student was infected with flesh-eating bacteria as a
result of an accident of homemade zip line over a local river on May 1. Copeland
suffered a deep wound in her left leg after falling from the zip line and the
bacteria took hold in the wound.
On very
early stages of her treatment; doctors thought she had only a slim chance of
surviving the aggressive infection which vigorously spread into her body
including her abdominal area.
Aimee Copeland has recovered extremely quickly with the support of her
family, her colleagues at university and well-wishers who have made donations
on the website Copeland’s father set up for his brave daughter.
She was able to ask for ice-cream, and let her family know when she was
bored and wanted a book to read.
