Son of Emory Ebola patient: 'Mom is tired but continues to fight'

The son of one of two American Ebola patients being treated at Emory University said today that his mother is fighting

the virus and seemed more concerned with how her family is doing.

“We are grateful to be able to see our mom once again, and we entrust her care both to the Lord and to the fine doctors and staff at Emory University Hospital,” Jeremy Writebol said in a statement about his mother, Nancy. “Mom is tired from her travel, but continues to fight the virus and strengthen her faith… . We were able to spend a few minutes with her to encourage her and be encouraged by her condition.

“Her servant’s heart is evident, as she expressed concern for us above and beyond her own circumstances.”

Nancy Writebol, a missionary with the charity SIM USA, contracted Ebola while working in Monrovia, Liberia. She was flown to Atlanta on Tuesday and is being treated at Emory University. Dr. Kent Brantly also is being treated at Emory after being evacuated from Monrovia on Saturday.

Jeremy Writebol’s statement, issue by SIM Wednesday afternoon, concluded: “Please continue to pray for her recovery and for wisdom for the doctors and medical staff caring for her. We lean on Christ, our stronghold in this time of trouble, because we know the Lord has not forsaken us.”
