American doctor with Ebola says he is getting stronger

(Reuters) - The Texas doctor being treated for Ebola in Atlanta after getting evacuated from West Africa said in a statement on Friday he was "growing stronger every day." Dr. Kent Brantly, 33, said he had received the best possible care from Emory University Hospital infectious disease specialists, who also are treating his colleague, Nancy Writebol, for the deadly virus. "I am writing this update from my isolation room," Brantly said in his first public statement since contracting Ebola. "I am growing stronger every day, and I thank God for his mercy as I have wrestled with this terrible disease." Brantly arrived in Georgia by medical aircraft on Saturday, followed on Tuesday by Writebol, a 59-year-old missionary from Charlotte, North Carolina. They are believed to be the first Ebola patients ever treated in the United States.
