His health is not good and we're just really, really concerned with his life at this point. We love him, we're praying for him and we're doing everything we can to get him home as soon as we can.

He said he was doing well and he felt OK. Of course, he's very tired and very happy to be out of the situation he was in.

I think it's going to strengthen us.

We felt the media would be one of the best things we could do to put it in the forefront of people's minds. Just so he would not be forgotten and in the event he ever had a chance to hear news he would know his family and his government were trying to get him back.

We hoped it would turn out this way, but we really weren't expecting it to. I've cried quite a bit on and off, but today's tears were tears of joy.

It's wonderful. It's like a dream come true.
