A 9-year-old's homecoming
After spending 662 days at the Johns Hopkins Children Center recovering from a fire injury, 9-year-old Reese returned home.
In 2014, Reese suffered burns to 35 percent of her body in a house fire. She also had injuries to her heart and lungs, requiring her to be airlifted to Baltimore.

"It wasn't until a week later when she went into cardiac arrest that we really knew the extent of her injuries," Claire Burdette, Reese’s Mom said.

But this story had a happy ending. After a long, hard fight Reese finally checked out of the hospital she called home for 22 months.
"I'm gonna miss them all,” said Reese. “And they're gonna miss me."
"I will absolutely miss her,” Dr. Nelson said. “But we'll keep in touch, we are linked forever."
Reese said seeing her cow Pantene was one of the first things she wanted to do when she got home to Mercersburg, Pennsylvania.
