ATLANTA (CBS ATLANTA) -
CBS Atlanta News received new pictures of a University of West Georgia student leaving the hospital, after spending nearly two months battling a flesh-eating bacteria.
You can see Aimee Copeland, 24, smiling as she's wheeled out of the facility on her way to a rehabilitation clinic.
Doctors amputated Aimee's left leg, right foot, and both hands after she got the bacteria when she fell from a homemade zipline in May.
Aimee will spend the next several weeks learning to use a wheelchair.
