The husband of the American woman infected with Ebola said Friday that he hopes to return to the U.S. to be with his wife soon, but remains in Liberia waiting for the incubation period to pass to make sure he is not infected as well.
David Writebol spoke via telephone from Monrovia, where he and his wife Nancy were doing missionary work. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook asked Writebol if he was waiting to see if he was infected, and Writebol replied, 'Yes, I am taking my temperature every day.'
