This is one of many blogs to come, we have so many touching stories how people use this little bonding blanket.
Shelly who lives in Los Angeles, bought a bonding blanket for her high school friend Adel who lives in Arizona. Shelly and Adel go way back, ‘High School days’, they have had a beautiful long distant friendship.
Adel has always had a very serious problem with back pain since High School. She had been in and out of hospitals most of her life but this trip brough her in for an infection she contracted after having an infusion in her back… They tried to clear up the infection, so they could do surgery, but she became so weak they had to put off… 

What she was experiencing was a mystery to all the Doctors.
Adel went from pain in her back, to being so weak she could barely speak. The area where the Doctors worked on would not heal, and she now had an open wound, this was not looking too good. .
She became paralyzed from the waist down, on top of everything else they now had to intubate (breathing tube into the trachea for mechanical ventilation) her so she could breathe…
Adel’s husband was so great at writing long lengthy emails to let everyone know what was happening with Adel and what she was going through. 
She was now being moved to different departments for rehabilitation. It was a very slow process.
Shelly wanted to do something for her friend, something to let her know she cared for her, and being so far away she knew a card would not be enough.

She wanted to send some comfort to Adel as she was being transferred to different facilities for her care.
Shelly called Adel’s husband to get an idea as to what she might send, he said, “no” to flowers, there is just not enough room for any more gifts... Shelly had remembered ‘the bonding blanket’ that a friend had bought for someone else.
She called Bruce to ask him if he thought a small little blanket, infused with Shelly’s prayers, and love would be ok, and he said, “yes”.

Shelly really believed in the concept behind this little bonding blanket, at least it was something Adel could have 24/7, and could reach for it whenever she felt frightened and lonely. Her husband said, she was transferred to many facilities, and that she kept the bonding blanket with her, holding out for some hope and comfort. Unfortunately, Adel was spiraling downhill, she could not breath, infections were setting in, and it was not good.

Her recovery was just not going in the direction everyone had hoped for...Adel passed away 8 months later.
