DENVER -- Reminders of life outside Lilly Downs’ Denver hospital room dotted the walls.
Faux green vines intertwined with fairy lights trailed down the wall opposite her bed. Below the greenery, pictures of the teenager’s family, friends and two dogs had been taped to a wardrobe. Flowers sat in vases on the window sill.
The 18-year-old lay on her bed, wanting to go home.
