A California woman weighing over 650lbs was finally able to experience the outdoors after seven years of being housebound, UK MailOnline reported.
Bonnie's confinement began when her beloved mother died, after which she refused to leave the house. When her father suffered the same fate two years later, she refused to leave her bed and has entirely on her 24-year-old daughter to exist.
"But in an intervention stunt pulled off by TV life coach Iyanla Vanzant, a construction crew freed her by cutting a hole through her bedroom wall, and Bonnie was wheeled out into the sunshine on a gurney, as shown in a recent episode of Own network's 'Iyanla: Fix My Life,'" according to UK MailOnline.
"Fresh air!" exclaims Bonnie, breaking into wrenching sobs.
"Feel the sun, Miss Bonnie," remarks Iyanla, prompting the overwhelmed woman to open her eyes.
Greeted with a rapturous applause from her collective neighbors, and tears from her daughter and full-time caretaker, Jamesha, Bonnie appears to be overwhelmed.
"I'm sorry everybody, I'm sorry!" Bonnie repeats, near-hysterical.
"No sorry!" Iyanla enthuses. "Thank you. She says 'Thank you' everybody."
After an emotional bear hug with her young grandson, in which she can be heard whispering, "I told you I was going to take you outside," Bonnie is ready to be taken to hospital in an ambulance for a full evaluation.
"Step one: done!" cheers Iyanla, clutching a box of much-needed tissues and offering Bonnie a high five.
After being admitted to the USC Hospital in California, Bonnie was moved to Pasadena Meadows Nursing Center last month, where she underwent physical therapy and was placed on a restrictive diet, UK MailOnline reported.
For the first time in five years, she has reportedly lost about 75 lbs. She should be able to start walking within a month, doctors said.
