U.S Ebola patient gets physically better, eyes brighten up, even joking- Son reveals



  The American woman who had been contaminated with the Ebola virus while working together with a Christian aid group in Liberia is improving and is even smiling, her son said today. Talking to NBC's Today Show, Jeremy Writebol said his mother, Nancy Writebol, 60, who had been evacuated from Monrovia the other day and was wheeled on a stretcher right into a special isolation unit at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, has gotten physically better.
"When she came in on Tuesday last week, we were really concerned that she wasn't going to make it. To see her wheeled out of the ambulance and in, I was on the floor sobbing."
"We've seen her get physically better, her eyes brighten up, smiling, even joking a little bit" he said.
Jeremy, who says he sees his mum twice a day through a hospital window, said doctors told him they are cautiously optimistic she'll recover. Nancy is the second patient to use experimental drug, Zmapp
