Ebola survivor Nina Pham: I believe in the power of prayer

“I would first and foremost like to thank God, my family and friends. Throughout this ordeal, I have put my trust in God and my medical team.”

A time to witness.

When she was first taken to the hospital, they showed her Church praying for her, Vietnamese Catholic Church. Those are very devout Churches alright. I’ve been to a Mass in one, it’s been awhile, I forget if the service was in Vietnamese or English but the place was packed. 8 or 9 AM Sunday Morning.

[BeadCounter]

Bless Her Heart, prayers for all victims of Ebola.

I believe it was her dad that said her being a nurse was “a calling” - not just a job.

I think these Ebola survivors are immune now. I wonder if she will volunteer over in Liberia or somewhere? Not saying that she should - but, that would sure be a story.

Classy lady.

[Moonman62]

Perhaps she can give blood donations like the first US Ebola survivor reportedly did for her.

I thought her press conference was terrific.

She’s a beautiful human being, both inside and out..I prayed for Nina and her adorable pooch Bentley, so glad they are both doing fine, I want to see the photos of those two reunited, won’t be a dry eye in the house

She doesn’t look at all like someone who just recovered from a deadly disease.

[GonzoII]

Sounds like a Korean Mass I went to once—packed.

[Ouchthatonehurt]

God bless her. Good nurses are angels.

No real Catholic would allow herself to be hugged by Obola the Destroyer of Life (abortion and infanticide). She is sadly self-deceived as are many new age catholics.

[steve86]

The immunity may be weak, temporary, and specific to the strain she experienced.

[GonzoII]

"She is sadly self-deceived as are many new age catholics."

She's a new age Catholic? --source?

[glyptol]

As opposed to our firs—
Lady?

[Kackikat]

She had no choice as the government is no doubt picking up the tab for this treatment, since the CDC dropped the ball. You have no idea if she is new age or not, because new age people don’t usually give God the glory for healing.

[catfish1957]

Congratulations Ms. Pham. I hope there are pictures of your reunion with your dog.

[BlueDragon]

Though I am sad for those whose prayers may not seem to be answered -- I was one of the people who included her in prayers -- and while doing so, had thoughts she had a very good chance of making it...

There were likely millions of people who prayed for her in one way or another?

[353FMG]

This wise young lady knows the order in which to give thanks.

[RedStateRocker]

Probably more qualified to lead any ebola efforts than anyone the president will nominate.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Well, I think if Obama is going to kiss the ladies he ought not be sexist and go ahead and hug and kiss the men, too.

That said, Nina is a very sweet and polite person. I am sure she would have felt rude to refuse when he was doling out the affections to the lot of them. It means nothing.
