'Let's do this': Aimee Copeland did not cry when her father told her she would have to have her remaining foot and fingers amputated A young U.S. woman fighting a rare flesh-eating infection has been bravely looking at her ravaged hands without shedding any tears, her father said. Georgia graduate Aimee Copeland still doesn't know that doctors plan to amputate all her fingers, just as they had to remove most of her left leg, in order to save her life. 'Her fingers are basically mummified. The flesh is dead,' her father, Andy Copeland, said in a phone interview from Doctors Hospital in Augusta.
