I'm glad for her too, but feel so bad about that beautiful dog. Her Dh is upset too..they could have quarantined the dog like Bentley, the nurse in Texas' dog!

I know. That was so sad and most likely completely unnecessary.

We're learning, though, as time progresses. It's tremendously encouraging that none of Thomas Eric Duncan's family and friends have fallen ill.

I'm glad to read this! It's heartening to see that quite a few people who get early and aggressive treatment seem to recover from ebola.


That sure seems to make a world of difference!

Early supportive care is one of the keys in helping Ebola victims survive. Unfortunately, in most of the countries where Ebola strikes, there is no such care available. By this I mean rehydration and transfusions.

You're right. I'd also think some people don't go in right away, or they live far enough from the clinics that they're worse by the time they get there.

It is fantastic news for her. But now she has to live with the fact they KILLED her dog.

Heartless people.

Re: Spanish Nurse Infected With Ebola Has Recovered

Oh good!! My heart still breaks for the loss of her sweet pup, though. I hope she is able to find another to give her some comfort and fill a little piece of the hole left behind.
