Posted: Updated:
SNELLVILLE, Ga. -

The new wing of Aimee Copeland's home will be handed over to her family on Wednesday. The massive addition is complete 10 days ahead of schedule.

Pulte Homes has been putting the finishing touches on  the nearly 2,000 square-foot addition to Aimee Copeland's Snellville home.

It includes a large room for rehab, a study, an elevator  and much more.

The 24-year-old University of West Georgia graduate student is undergoing rehab after having her hands, left leg and right foot amputated after contracting flesh-eating bacteria.

She fell off a homemade zip line at the beginning of May and cut her leg.

Aimee spent months in an Augusta hospital.
