I am going to quote the latest post from Facebook, from Nikki's friend that has taken over her facebook account temporarily to keep everyone updated. :
"Update:
01/18/2012
I visited Nikki during visiting hours. Boy was she happy! She said to tell all of YOU that she “couldn’t be more humbled, yet ecstatic” at all the noise we made about the whole name change issue. She had no idea all this was going on out here.
... “I was completely taken by surprise when an officer walked up to me and said I need to change your inmate wristband. Even the person who was removing the old one said nothing like this has ever happened before in here.”
Nikki told me that this was the first time she’s ever been allowed her legal name in Harris County Jail. She said, “Every other time, it’s been Justin.”
Also, she was given a health checkup and she reports that she is “very healthy… better than ever!” She has been given her HIV meds and her spirits are very high considering the circumstances.
She also said, “Thank you to all my friends, family, and supporters who keep me in their prayers and thoughts.”
I told her a few folks had contacted me through FB to tell her that they sent letters/cards to her. She smiled and said she can’t wait to read them and respond to as many as she can. “Tell them I am very grateful for any outside contact”.
I thank you too,"
I do not feel that it is appropriate to post that person's name, though I am reasonably certain that both he and Nikki would be fine with my quoting this.
