ABC News 9/10/14: American Ebola Patient Returning to ‘Normal Self’. An American doctor receiving treatment for Ebola at Nebraska Medical Center is improving, hospital officials said today.

Dr. Rick Sacra, a missionary with the group SIM, contracted Ebola white treating pregnant patients in Monrovia, Liberia. He was transported to Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha on Friday for treatment.

“He’s kind of becoming his normal self,” said Dr. Angela Hewlett, associate medical director of the hospital’s bio-containment unit. “Family members continue to speak with Dr. Sacra on a regular basis via video conference and that’s a big help for both the patient and his family.”
