DALLAS A second Texas nurse who had contracted Ebola flew on a commercial flight from Ohio to Texas with a slight temperature the day before she was diagnosed, health officials said on Wednesday, raising new concerns about U.S. efforts to control the disease.

Chances that other passengers on the plane were infected were very low, but the nurse should not have been traveling on the flight, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Thomas Frieden told reporters.

The woman, Amber Vinson, 29, was isolated immediately after reporting a fever on Tuesday, Texas Department of State Health Services officials said. She had treated Liberian patient Thomas Eric Duncan, who died of Ebola and was the first patient diagnosed with the virus in the United States.

Vinson, a worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, had taken a Frontier Airlines flight from Cleveland, Ohio to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on Monday, officials said.

Cleveland Clinic - Coping and Resilience, Finding a Medical Home and Resources

Tue, 2014-07-22 23:40 — Kathy Gilbeaux

Resilience, being able to bounce back or cope with difficult events, is helpful when thinking about coping with the stress of having a child with a chronic illness such as epilepsy. The stress can increase if the child also has a behavioral or mental health issue. Resilience is the idea that we develop strength in response to stress, and we can use that strength to help us get through trying situations. It can be summed up in the old adage, “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” It is our strengths plus the coping mechanisms we develop that help us.
