British nurse with Ebola in critical condition

A British nurse being treated for Ebola in London is in critical condition after deteriorating over the last two days, her hospital said on Saturday. The Royal Free Hospital has been treating Pauline Cafferkey, 39, with blood plasma from an Ebola survivor and an experimental anti-viral drug. She was diagnosed with Ebola on Monday after returning to Britain late on Sunday from Sierra Leone, where she had been working for the charity Save the Children at a treatment centre outside the capital, Freetown. Cafferkey is the first person to have been diagnosed with Ebola on British soil. The hospital has not specified which drug Cafferkey is being treated with, but said no supplies of ZMapp were available.

I know Dr. Mike Jacobs and his team at the Royal Free Hospital are working tirelessly to provide her with the best possible care.
