Good news everyone!
Tuesday night was a wonderful day for Amber Vinson, the Dallas nurse who had contracted the Ebola virus after she volunteered to treat the recently deceased Thomas Eric Duncan, and Amber finally rest easy!
Amber’s been cleared and is now Ebola free, and the good news was revealed to be a definite by Tuesday night!
Here’s what her mom Debra Berry had to say:
“Amber and our family are ecstatic to receive this latest report on her condition. We all know that further treatment will be necessary as Amber continues to regain strength, but these latest developments have truly answered prayers and bring our family one step closer to reuniting with her at home.”
Amber Vinson had previously received a lot of criticism for flying to Cleveland for a wedding even though she HAD checked with the CDC before departing. And like her friend recently said, we shouldn’t be making this woman out like a villain as some have. The friend said:
“She’s infected for doing something so selfless. We should be applauding her courage.”
Now attention goes to Amber’s peer nurse Nina Pham, who is in an isolation unit fighting the Ebola virus herself.

And her friends know she went above and beyond the call of duty just like Amber! One former colleague of Pham said:
“It wasn’t just her job. It was her calling to help this person.”
We should all do as Pham’s mother has asked the world and “continue to pray” for this lady to end up in the same position as Amber.
Totally healthy!
They’re true heroes for putting themselves in harm’s way to help others!
