According to the Gwinnett Daily Post, Aimee Copeland is finally back home after four arduous months away.

Copeland contracted a flesh-eating bacteria back in early May after a zipline accident. As a result, she had multiple amputations, including her left leg, right foot and both hands. 

"We had a really good day filled with fun and frivolity," said her father, Andy Copeland in an interview with the AJC.
