OK, thrilled he has been found, but now I can say it.

The California Uber and Lyft driver who vanished a week ago to the extreme distress of friends and family has been found.
Hours after authorities located Joshua Thiede's 2014 black Nissan Altima on Monday, friends told CBS Los Angeles that the 29-year-old had subsequently been found alive and in a hospital.
Thiede's mother, a prevalent voice in the frantic search for her son even from her home in Ohio, confirmed the development on Facebook.
"We are extremely pleased to announce that Joshua Thiede has been found. He is at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles. I will be getting on a plane as soon as possible to take care of him," Janet Thiede wrote Tuesday morning.

"At this time, we do not have all the details. We are just extremely happy that he is alive. We are continuing to ask the LAPD to investigate the circumstances that landed him in the hospital," Janet Thiede wrote.
A spokesman for Uber told InsideEdition.com they are cooperating with police.
"Our concern is with Mr. Thiede's safety and wellbeing, and our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time," a spokesperson for Lyft said in a statement to InsideEdition.com. "We have been in touch with law enforcement to offer our assistance and stand ready to help in any way we can."

Joshua Thiede, who was last seen driving his black Nissan Altima in the 1000 block of Wilshire Boulevard near the 110 Freeway on Feb. 11, was found less than a mile away at Good Samaritan Hospital late Monday night, according to Officer Greg Kraft, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department.
Kraft did not know Thiede's condition or when he arrived at the hospital. It was not immediately clear if Thiede was brought to the hospital by emergency personnel or checked himself in. The department planned to issue a news release later Tuesday morning, Kraft said.
Yes!! So happy he's been found!! Great news!Thank you Lord Jesus! We just don't see enough of these "found alive" outcomes. Prayers for a speedy recovery!
