BOONE, N.C. — The CDC confirms infected Ebola Dr. Kent Brantly’s health is improving.
Brantly was strong enough to walk from the ambulance. He also spoke with his wife through a glass window Saturday.
Brantly and Nancy Writebol from Charlotte were serving in Liberia as medical missionaries when they contracted the deadly virus.
Samaritan’s Purse released a statment on the Doctor saying, “We praise God for the news that Kent’s condition is improving. We can confirm that Kent was able to receive a dose of the experimental serum prior to leaving Liberia. Please continue to pray for Kent, the people of Liberia, and all those who are serving there in Jesus’ Name.”
Dr. Kent Brantly’s wife, Amber Brantly said, “Our family is rejoicing over Kent’s safe arrival, and we are confident that he is receiving the very best care. We are very grateful to the staff at Emory University Hospital, who have been so nice and welcoming to us. I was able to see Kent today. He is in good spirits. He thanked everyone for their prayers and asked for continued prayer for Nancy Writebol’s safe return and full recovery.”
