welcome to "cbs this morning." gayle king is on assignment. the united states is bulking up its ebola response. the pentagon is forming a 30-person quick response team. the health care worker will get special training and infection control. they will help provide treatment to patients in american hospitals. >> but today marks a critical and hopeful milestone for many exposed to the virus in texas. anna werner is at the hospital in dallas where health care workers continue to check for their own symptoms of ebola. anna, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning to our viewers in the west. texas officials are cautiously optimistic that the worst of ebola exposure is behind them. today a large group of people who were exposed to ebola victim thomas eric duncan passed the 21-day monitoring period. >> today is a milestone day.
7:04 am
>> reporter: 41 people have been taken off the list after having contact with the first ebola patient diagnosed in the u.s., thomas eric duncan. that group includes his fiancee louise troh and her family. they were placed under court-ordered quarantine and moved from their apartment to an undisclosed location in dallas. >> let's realize these people have been through a terrible ordeal. they've lost someone that they loved. >> reporter: on sunday, troh release a statement ahead of her family's release, saying, our happiness is mixed with sadness at the same time. my beloved fiance thomas eric duncan did not survive with us. we continue to mourn his loss and grieve the circumstances that led to his death. 75 health care workers are still being monitored. the two nurses infected, nina pham and amber vinson, are being treated in hospitals in maryland and atlanta. vinson's family has hired attorney billy martin and released a statement defending amber's actions. they said suggestions that she ignored any of the physician and government provided protocols recommended to her are patently
7:05 am
untrue and hurtful. the carnival cruiseship magic docked on sunday in galveston. on board, a lab worker who handled duncan's lab specimens at presbyterian. she and her husband isolated themselves in their cabin for part of the trip. a coast guard helicopter visited the ship on saturday so a technician could take a blood sample. she tested negative for ebola. >> nobody got worried or panicked or anything like that. it was just disappointment that the cruise got cut short for everyone. >> reporter: now people who were on a flight with one of the two infected nurses amber vinson, will have to wait a bit longer until they are cleared, they will be waiting until november 3rd. >> all right, anna, thank you. president obama is taking heat this morning for his appointment of a so-called ebola czar. ron klain will oversee the administration's response to the crisis. some democrats praised the 53-year-old's political experience. he served as chief of staff
7:06 am
for vise president's gore and biden. but republicans criticize his lack of expertise. on "meet the press," echoing the concern. >> ron klain's emergency response experience may be the bush/gore recount qualified in that, and i think talking to constituents, so many people have said, you know, we didn't want somebody to give a spin. we want somebody to give us the facts, and that's what we were hopeful for. >> klain is the latest special adviser stemming from a crisis. the white house tapped zine last year to help fix the botched health care rollout. >> chief medical correspondent dr. jon lapook joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. >> so they have lifted quarantine of mr. duncan's family. what are the implications of that? >> obviously it's good for the family, but there's also good implications to people who were possibly exposed to duncan.
7:07 am
think about it. mr. duncan was out of the hospital after he had a fever of 103 and got sicker and sicker after that. miss vinson had a fever of 99.5 and was less sick. it's less at the very beginning of the illness so, therefore, it's less likely you're going to infect anybody. >> this is big news. it's not spread beyond this. what about these new guidelines from the cdc, they're much stricter than before. >> yeah, and i think it makes sense. it's one thing to make a mistake. in medicine it's a humbling profession. you make mistakes. the sin is not to learn from these mistakes. it would bother me if they said the protocols are fine, we're not going to change them, but the cdc is changing them so they work. >> no exposed skin. >> a minute before i came here i said to the spokesperson for cdc, when are they coming out. he said can't say for sure but probably by today. >> another new development is the team over at the pentagon and cdc has their own. what are they going to do? >> i think they're going to make sure in practice things get done as opposed to in theory.
7:08 am
they're going to go down there, have previous experience, make sure that not only are you reading the instructions but you're doing the instructions because they'll have it based on personal experience. >> you see that as if this is another small outbreak of ebola, the pentagon could send in this 30-person team? >> the cdc has talked about their s.w.a.t. team. i think coordination is very important. you don't want to have the fire department and the police department coming to the site of an emergency and saying "who's in charge." coordination is important but i do like the concept of, hey, are you doing it the right way. >> thank you, jon. a doctor in west africa is now training other doctors. she talks about the risks and rewards of treating the outbreak on the front lines. that's ahead. >> sir ris-hit air strikes against overnight over the town of kobani. they dropped supplies for troops trying to hold that strategic town on the turkish border.
7:09 am
this morning secretary of state john kerry said it would be irresponsible and morally difficult not to help. holly williams snuck into the war-torn syria to speak with another american fighting isis. this morning she's in erbil. the capital of iraq's kurdish region. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we were escorted into syria yesterday by kurdish soldiers who are fighting a brutal war against isis in which they're outgunned and outmanned, and we discovered that one of their number is an american volunteer from mississippi. we drove into northeastern syria where a ragtag army of kurdish fighters is holding the line against isis. one of them is jeremy woodard, a security guard from meridian, mississippi. >> i figured if i came over here, more americans, other people from different countries, would come over here. >> woodard left the u.s. military in 2012 after serving
7:10 am
in iraq and afghanistan. but a month ago, after he was angered by news reports about atrocities committed by isis, he paid his own way to turkey and was then smuggled into the war zone. >> i can't really understand them, but sign language is everything. great guys. >> reporter: woodard told us he's been involved in several battles against isis, including one not far from this area on syria's border with iraq that he said raged for 24 hours. have you killed anyone since you've been here? >> i killed two in my first battle. that's it so far. hopefully my numbers will go up. i never thought i'd be over in syria killing people, but they've killed innocent people. >> reporter: if you're captured by isis, there's a good chance you'll be executed, you'll be beheaded. is it frightening? >> it's not frightening to me.
7:11 am
if i have one bullet eft, i'd take my own life before that happens. i'm not going to get put on youtube by isis and let them put me on my knees and cut my head off for publicity. >> jeremy woodard told us he's not the only american fighting against isis with kurdish soldiers in syria. he says he knows of two others and believes there could be several more. norah? >> holly, thank you. and more from holly tonight on "the cbs evening news" with scott pelley. she asked jeremy woodard about his fears of what might happen if he returns to the u.s. a potential groundbreaking of the bishops ended sunday with a ceremony for pope paul vi. he led the church during turbulent times in the '60s. allen pizzey is in rome where
7:12 am
pope francis and the bishops took on some controversial issues. allen, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the final document on the issues discussed and voted on won't be available until october 2015. the focus of the coming year will almost be exclusively on the three clauses that didn't make the grade of full approval. francis's reaction to the vote came under the cover of a mass to mark the end of the session and coincidentally elevate paul vi who one step towards sainthood. the church should not be afraid of changes, he told the gathered. god is not afraid of new things, he said. that's why he is continuously surprising us, opening our hearts and guiding us in unexpected ways. but when the upbeat tone regarding gays cohabitation and remarriage entered the report, there was no surprise. conservative bishops immediately
7:13 am
pushed back, arguing it would create confusion and undermine the traditional family. cardinal dolan of new york appeared on "cbs this morning." >> so then why has your friend and colleague cardinal burke said that this entire document, which raises that question about whether gay people should be welcomed in the church, he said it's confused, it's erroneous, and this whole thing should be scrapped? >> well, i think he's right. he's picked up on a sign that a lot of bishops and i would include myself feels that it needs major reworking. >> reporter: the pope began the session by urging them to speak freely and told them when it was over he would have been worried and sad if they had not. the general reaction among analysts is the pope got pretty much what he wanted. an open debate will be heard and participated in by catholics at all levels, not just in the exalted realms of the church's hierarchy. norah.
7:14 am
>> the debate continues. allen, thank you so much. now to the grim news. searchers found the body of what may be missing student hannah graham. this morning police are waiting for the official identification. julianna goldman is in charlottesville with the news rattling the community. >> reporter: good morning, and good morning to viewers in the west. the remains were discovered in a dried up creek bed in an abandoned property about 11 1/2 miles from here the charlottesville mall where hannah graham was last seen. authorities spent sunday canvassing the area where the body was found for more clues. the officials can't yet confirm they're the remains of hannah graham but they still called the 18-year-old's parents with news of the grim discovery. previously it was a missing person's case and police canceled the search party that was scheduled for sunday. they believe god wanted them to find the body. >> we were here to bring closure and we hope that's what we've done. >> reporter: they also found a pair of tight dark pants,
7:15 am
similar to what hannah was wearing the night she disappeared after a night out with friends. police charged 32-year-old matthew with the abduction. he was taken into custody after being arrested near galveston, texas, last month. they link him to the 2009 disappearance of 22-year-old morgan harrison. her body was found 3 1/2 months three months after she disappeared, just five miles from the scene of the graham investigation. harrison says he hopes grahams can find peace now. >> not knowing was worse than knowing morgan was dead. >> reporter: jesse matthews' lawyer isn't commenting until the body is identified. the remains have been taken to richmond for autopsy and identification. we expect results in the next few days. police have a new lead on the investigation of the disappearance of eric frein. a girl was walking near pocono
7:16 am
mountain east high school when she noticed a man with mud on his face carrying a rifle. he matched frein's description. investigators are also testing blood found on two porches in nearby cresco. he's accused of ambushing two state troopers, killing one and wounding another. after 16 nfl seasons, peyton manning has more touchdown passes than anyone. he set a new mark last night with his 509th touchdown throw. manning led denver to a 42-17 win over san francisco. barry petersen is in denver where manning broke brett favre's record. barry, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well it was a lovely evening here in denver and it was no surprise when the said yum erupted after number 18 tossed the touchdown pass in for number 509. the quarterback that one observer said plays like a man taking a calculus test allowed
7:17 am
himself a rare and delighted on-field smile when demaryius thomas caught the record-breaking pass. >> with that touchdown, peyton manning has become the nfl's all-time leader in career touchdown passes. >> reporter: they tossed the record-breaking football anywhere but to manning. >> i think i'll definitely remember a lot of things about tonight, but i'll remember that part of it and the fact that they had the guts to go ahead and go through with it. >> he had made that plan himself. keep the ball away from me, like hopscotch. i thought, cool. we got everybody in on friday to practice it. >> reporter: one of the league's most prolific quarterback, manning is famous for breaking records. last year, his 55 single season touchdowns eclipsed tom brady's record of 50 and just as famous for being an "aw shucks" kind of guy whenever it happens. >> a lot of people have helped to get to this point. you know, football is the ultimate team game. i'm very humbled and very honored.
7:18 am
>> reporter: brett favre's record, 508 touchdown passes, stood for seven years but he saw its fall coming. >> i'm not going to lose any sleep over it. >> all right. >> i'm proud of the fact we're sitting here talking about it because that means i did something. >> reporter: as for manning, it's worth knowing he sat out for an entire season with the indianapolis colts after four neck surgeries with no guarantee he would ever play again. >> pulled in touchdown! >> reporter: he came back better and stronger. running his newly owned record even higher with touchdown pass 510. manning is 38 so there's no knowing how long he has left to play. he's got a contract here until the 2016 season. and they're already talking about another record as brett favre tweeted in a note of congratulation, "on to 600." >> you know what's amazing about
7:19 am
peyton manning and all of the quarterbacks, they're always throwing the ball where the receiver is going to be but not where he is. and that takes a certain amount of precision. >> yes congratulations to him. big accomplishment. >> all right, thank you. we're counting down to thursday night football when peyton manning and the broncos host the chargers. the game will be on thursday right here on cbs. it 0001 clouds moving into the bay area. high def doppler radar tracking a storm system. chance of showers as we look throughout the day today. with that in mind, temperatures will stay down a bit. plan on6 degrees. a chance of showers in san francisco. 69 in fremont. as we head through the next few days, we'll clear out the skies and bring in warmer temperatures. a chance of showers returns as we head toward friday.

7:42 am
related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor about xarelto® today.

love. it's what makes a subaru,a subaru. in our "morning rounds," giving kids the wrong dose. a new study out this morning shows the surprising mistakes adults make at home when giving children medicine. kids under 6 can become victims on average once every eight minutes. our dr. holly phillips is here. dr. holly, good to see you. >> good morning, norah. >> this is an incredible study. >> it really is. they looked at a huge amount of data from poison control centers nationwide specifically about medication errors that parents make in kids under 6. a huge number of those errors are actually in kids under the age of 1 and overwhelmingly they involve liquid preparations things like tylenol or ibuprofen for fever, cough and cold
8:15 am
medicines and anti-histamines. >> i think some of the challenge at least for me as a mom is when you are doing these liquid applications, there's teaspoons, there's tablespoons and there's the syringe. is some of the mistake simply we don't know how to measure what we're using? >> absolutely vinita that's absolutely the largest mistake. sometimes parents unwittingly double dosed their children right. one caregiver gives the medicine and they don't communicate with another and end up giving two doses, but the biggest issue did have to do with measurements. if you look at the back of some of the medication boxes, it will call for meds to be dispensed in milliliters and the device inside is teaspoons. >> i find that all the time. whether it's tylenol or motrin or the generic brand that you buy at the store, they all have different size caps and different measurements. if you use the wrong cap you can get totally confused. >> actually a common mistake, parents will reach into the kitchen drawer and pull out a teaspoon and tablespoon.
8:16 am
depending on what your silverware is like you could actually give 50% more. so i actually stole this from my office -- i borrowed it. i use it for my own kids. it's a simple syringe. on one side it has milliliters, on the other side it has teaspoons and makes it much easier to pull up the medicine and dispense it. >> that's what i use at my house. >> so is there a way for parents to tell that they have given the wrong dose? >> right. well, most of these calls, charlie, were actually parents who realized they gave the wrong dose rather than parents who had very sick children and then figured it out after. if there's ever any question really the number one thing to do is call the poison control center, your doctor or take the kid to the e.r. >> and this comes with all these cough med sipicines when doctors are saying we should be pulling back on those right? >> that was one interesting thing in the study. over the course of the ten years that they looked at this data the number of cold and flu errors went down and that's
8:17 am
because we're giving less cold and flu medicine. so we still have to really be careful. the most important thing is to realize how easy mistakes are to make. >> very important information, thanks. first on "cbs this morning," the new list of the bet getaways. we have the editor in our toyota green room with the top picks from 80,000 readers. that's next. cbs "morning rounds" sponsored by campbell's slow cooker sauces. we help you cook a real dinner right in the middle of real life. we help cook a dinner right in the middle of real life. campbell's slow cooker sauces help you cook a real dinner, right in the middle of real life. when change is in the air you see things in a whole new way. it's in this spirit that ing u.s. is becoming a new kind of company. one that helps you think differently about what's ahead and what's possible when you get things organized.
