Missionary Nancy Writebol will return to the US from Africa to be treated for Ebola, American media has reported.
Ms Writebol is one of two US citizens infected with the deadly disease to be treated on her native shores.
She was working as a nurse in a hospital in Liberia during the outbreak that has so far claimed more than 700 lives in the recent west African outbreak.
She will be treated with the other US victim, Dr Kent Brantly, in a special isolation unit in an Atlanta Hospital.
Her son, Jeremy Writebol, told US TV that his mother is "in the care of the Lord".
US media has reported that Dr Brantly's condition has improved since he landed in the country earlier today.
There is no vaccine for Ebola, so treatment usually involves keeping the patient well-hydrated as their body struggles to purge the virus.
