Nebraska girl returns home after battle with E. coli

Good news for the 15 year-old Hastings girl battling a severe case of E. coli. Tasia Theoharis is now back at home.

Tasia was released Tuesday. She has been recovering at Children’s Hospital in Omaha since the middle of August.

The life-threatening bacteria attacked her blood cells, which clogged up her kidneys. She had to undergo dialysis for nearly a week because of that.

Tasia is a freshman this year at Hastings High.
