Re: Extreme makeover home edition....

I am obsessed with this show but didn't watch tonight's episode yet. We DVR it and I watch it while I'm on the elliptical. Every episode makes me cry... except for the one about the nutty lady who thought she had ghosts in her house. That was the only episode I turned off after 10 minutes. Chat Icon

I didn't know anyone else watched this!Chat Icon

Families first child was born without eyes. And he can't stretch his arms. He is in a wheelchair. His dad was thinking when he was born how he would never be able to plays sports with him. So he thought about something they can do. Play music. The boy plays the piano and the trumpet. He is in the louiville marching band. His dad pushes his wheelchair all around the feild while his son plays. AMAZING!

It really is awesome. Ty was talking to the son and he said he doesn't see his blindness as a disability but an ability. He can see people for what they are and not what they look like! He said he doesn't see black white red or orange.

DH & I were in awe with this family. And I love that they gave Patrick Henry his own apartment with a music studio. Such a gift.

I didn't watch the whole show, but him and his dad were on HBO's Real Sports a few months ago... interesting and touching story.
