Nina Pham, the 26-year-old intensive care unit nurse who has been infected with Ebola, has been given a blood transfusion from Ebola survivor Dr. Kent Brantly.

Officials with Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital gave the transfusion to Pham on Monday.  A priest in Pham’s congregation told reporters that she was doing better after the transfusion.

“I’m doing well and want to thank everyone for their kind wishes and prayers,” Pham said in a statement released by the hospital. “I am blessed by the support of family and friends.”

CBS Dallas says that one person who had close contact with Pham is now under hospital observation but has not developed any signs of Ebola.

Meanwhile, the World Health Organization released a statement saying at the current spread of infection, it’s possible to have 10,000 new cases a week starting in December.
