Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare but potentially deadly disease that ravages the body's tissues and causes them to die off, earning it the fiendish nickname "flesh-eating bacteria."

A Georgia college student, Aimee Copeland, 24, is currently fighting the disease from her hospital bed near Atlanta. She contracted necrotizing fasciitis after falling from a homemade zip line ride during what was supposed to be a day of fun in the sun on May 1.

Damn nature, you scary!

Doctors have since had to amputate one of her legs, and may have to remove her fingers and remaining foot. Her father, Andy Copeland, has started a blog to keep people apprised of her progress, and says he uses the world "miracle" to describe her continued recovery.

Oh, yes, such a miracle

Ha, from his latest blog post:

I ask her to pray and meditate on healing. I hold her and pray while she prays. This is all we can do now and I can honestly say it works quite well. I believe this has helped speed her healing process.
What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Romans 8:31

Whatever helps them get through it, I guess.

If God is for necrotizing fasciitis, who can be against it?

Devious, treacherous, murderous, neanderthal, sub-human of the West.
