OMAHA, Nebraska (AP) — A doctor who became infected with Ebola while working in Liberia has visited with two of his family members at the Nebraska hospital where he's receiving treatment.
A spokesman for the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha says Debbie Sacra and the couple's oldest son interacted with Dr. Rick Sacra for about 25 minutes Saturday via a video link.
Debbie Sacra says in a news release from the center that she was relieved to see her husband. She says he doesn't remember much about Friday, when he first arrived.
She says he asked for something to eat.
A center spokesman said Saturday that 51-year-old Rick Sacra's condition was unchanged from Friday, when he was deemed sick but in stable condition.
Sacra is the third American aid worker to be sickened with the virus.
