This post is actually from Carmen Camacho. She has been talking with Alex through this whole thing as he doesn't speak English. She passed along the following message. I've been passing along all the sympathy e-mails, posts and phone calls from here too. I think it does mean a lot to the family.
Hi group Last night I called Alex, Elizaira’s husband. He is doing OK and wanting to go home soon and be with his children, two cute little girls that are 4 and 6 years old. He will be leaving today and Elizaira will be arriving in PR on Friday.
I explained to Alex about our list serve and told him about all the beautiful messages that you guys had for him. I told him how we all felt that Elizaira had a very courageous spirit and how, without knowing, she has paved the road for others. She is truly an inspiration for us here in the states as well as for all of us around the world.
Alex wanted me to tell you that he was grateful to have our support; he expressed his appreciation to the NIH, to Jose Salas, to the HPS Network and to all of us that pray for his wife and his family. Alex also wanted to let us know that he will be available to help anyone that would need him. He admits not knowing much about the condition, but he said he learn so much, especially about all the process with the transplant coordination. He expressed hoe grateful he was that everyone had them in mind and he wanted to assure us that Elizaira had a peacefully passing, she was not in pain and that spiritually, she was ready for her journey. He felt that all of those around her had tried their best to help his wife. I expressed to him that he will always be a part of the HPS family and that we appreciate his support. He sends you all his love and appreciation.
