American stuck in Middle East escapes in race to reach critically ill husband in California
Fox News
After being stranded in Dubai amid airstrikes, Judith Wilson got out and began the long trip home to California as her husband faced emergency heart surgery.
Throughout the explosions, Wilson's main concern was her husband. Jessica Mekles is an editor on the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
"My husband went to the ER Monday with back pain and was diagnosed with a heart condition," Wilson told Fox News Digital. He was immediately scheduled for open-heart surgery — while she was thousands of miles from home.
On Wednesday, Wilson's colleague got word a flight was going to take off. So Wilson "sprinted to the airport and called the travel agency," she said.
