Nancy Writebol, the last American Ebola patient in Liberia, is in stable condition after receiving a second dose of an experimental antiviral serum, her son revealed today.

It's important news for the U.S. missionary. The private air ambulance jet that will ferry her to Atlanta landed in Monrovia, Liberia, on Monday. On Tuesday, she is expected to join fellow missionary and Ebola patient Dr Kent Brantly in a special quarantine wing at Emory University Hospital.

Ms Writebol, a 59-year-old mother from North Carolina, has shown some improvement over the weekend. She can walk with assistance and asked for Liberian potato soup - her favorite meal, family and friends said.

However, her case remains grave. She is in serious ]condition with a disease that has no known cure and proves fatal for up to 90percent of patients.

Dr Brantly and Ms Writebol contracted Ebola after working on the same medical mission team treating victims of the virus around Monrovia, Liberia. More than 1,300 people have been stricken, killing at least 729 of them in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.

Ebola has no vaccine or antidote. However, both Dr Brantly and Ms Writebol were given an experimental treatment last week, according to international relief group Samaritan's Purse.

The group originally said that only Writebol got the treatment. Dr Brantly also received a unit of blood from a 14-year-old boy, an Ebola survivor, who had been under his care, according to the organization.
