She hopes to find a way to talk to him in his isolation unit at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital where he is receiving the experimental anti-viral drug brincidofovir which was
developed to fight herpes and small pox.
His doctors were granted permission by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to use the drug after his condition worsened.
