It has made it and it is simply stunning.....I want to keep it for me :)  He has had a few blankets made but never one of this quality. And he was home with a cold today and got to receive the blanket himself. I will take a photo this weekend and send it off to you.  Elliott and I are extremely grateful for your kind gift.

Elliott A.'s Story

written by mom Cathy

Elliott was born 6 weeks premature and spent 12 days in intensive care. He almost did not make it the first few days. At the age of 2 we noticed his speech was bad and starting at age 3 he began special ed and speech therapy. We found out a few years later that he has mild brain damage, poor muscle tone and learning disabilities. In December of 2002 we thought he had the flu but it became impossible for him to walk and within a week on January 16, 2003, he was diagonised with leukemia. He has had numerous hospital stays, is on daily chemo pills, goes to weekly hospital visits and misses a great deal of school. He went into remission on Valentines day, 2003 and thankfully he remains there as of today.
