Help
They ended our church service Sunday with a prayer for Aimee Copeland. Her father is one of our guitarists. (We have an orchestra.)
I see that her story is in headline news on several sites. Here's a section of one article:
Aimee Copeland, a 24-year old master's student at the University of West Georgia, hopped on the homemade zip line during a kayaking trip with friends in Carrollton, Ga. But the line broke, cutting a gash in Copeland's left calf and introducing a life-threatening infection that on Friday claimed her left leg and part of her abdomen. "It's a miracle she made it past Friday night," Copeland's father, Andy, told ABC affiliate WSBTV. Cuts in the skin open the door for flesh-eating disease, officially known as necrotizing fasciitis, a rare strep infection that borrows deep into wounds and destroys the surrounding tissue.
She's still in serious condition.
Any prayers could only help.
Thanks

I just saw this. Don't know if it is accurate or not. Very sad.
copied from an article:
Doctors treating University of West Georgia grad student Aimee Copeland for a type of flesh-eating bacteria say the 24-year-old will end up losing both her hands and her remaining foot after the tissue in those extremities died.
In a UWG blog post Thursday afternoon, Copeland was said to be awake and responsive. The post said that according to a neurologist, there's no indication of brain damage and doctors are saying that her lungs are healing. The post goes on to say that blood vessels in her hand and her remaining foot have died, forcing them to be amputated.
