Ziplining. I don't know when this ...Dear Meike,<br />Ziplining. I don't know when this new trend has started, ziplines are ropes attached to trees and then you are hooked up (somehow) to these ropes and you "zip" along at usually a great height. This one was homemade and was over a river which had this bacteria, therefore, this tragedy happened.<br />It really is a sad story. There have been two other cases of this same flesh-eating bacteria, one a young man and the other a woman who had just given birth to twins...both of them have had skin taken off the abdomen and were not as affected by it as Aimee Copeland.<br />Did you read that Aimee swayed to this music as she was in her hospital bed?

There had been so much on the news recently on this, but I felt that what her father had written was so good that I wanted my blog readers to see it.

I just read the Dad's last few posts and I'm not sure whether to smile, cry, laugh or fall apart. Aimee is obviously amazing. As is her father ~ you can tell just from the way he writes the updates. What a sad and tragic story. It's going to take me a while to take in all that I've just read and heard about. Better Together has always been one of my favorite songs (as are most of Jack's songs!) but I will probably think of Aimee every time I hear it going forward. I can't stop thinking about how I've been complaining about my nails for the past few days ~ they're unmanicured and I've nibbled a few and they look ugly. Your post and those updates have knocked me right into my place ~ I am so damned thankful for these hands. So thankful. And now I'm crying thinking of all those things that Aimee will never be able to do with her hands. May need to digest and regroup and maybe comment again later when I have my wits about me....Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901253574307836440noreply@blogger.com
