After landing at a military air strip aboard a small medical evacuation plane, Nancy Writebol, 60, was transported by ambulance to Emory University Hospital. &quot;As anticipated, a second American patient with Ebola virus has been transferred from an overseas location to a special isolation facility in Emory University Hospital for treatment,&quot; the hospital said. &quot;Nancy is still very, very weak, but shows continued, but slow improvement,&quot; said Bruce Johnson, president of SIM USA, the Christian aid group for which she worked.</p><br clear="all"/>
