Her first order of business will be to hug her dog, Bentley, she said Friday.
She invoked God and science in expressing gratitude for her ongoing
recovery from a disease that has no established cure.
"I feel fortunate and
blessed to be standing here today," she said. "Throughout this ordeal, I
have put my faith in God and my medical team."
Later Friday, President Barack Obama met Pham in the Oval Office and gave her a big hug.
Prayer sustained her, and
she thanked people around the world who prayed for her, Pham told
reporters Friday at a National Institutes of Health hospital in
Bethesda, Maryland.
The nation saw a cheerful
and composed Pham, dressed in a bright turquoise top and matching
necklace, when she strode to a bank of microphones moments after Dr.
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases, said she was free of the virus.
