A plane equipped to transport Dr. Kent Brantly and missionary Nancy Writebol back to the country can carry only one patient back at a time and it was unclear early on Saturday which of the two would be arriving first. &quot;We have learned that we will be receiving a patient with Ebola at Emory University Hospital on Saturday,&quot; Holly Korschun, spokeswoman for the facility where they will be treated, said late on Friday. The patients were helping respond to the worst West African Ebola outbreak on record with the North Carolina-based Christian organization Samaritan's Purse and missionary group SIM USA when they contracted the disease.</p><br clear="all"/>
