These Special Products Were Used
in the November 28 Show

These Products Were Seen in the November 28 Presentation of ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

The Burns family in Garden Grove, CA have a son named Ben who is 6 years old. Ben has a rare disease called Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). In other words, he has brittle bones. The family had no idea about this disease until baby Ben was constantly breaking bones. The hospital suspected abuse, and health officials took Ben away from the family at 3 months of age. With Ben in foster health care for 6 months, the family, along with their doctor, was finally able to prove that Ben had a rare medical condition. His injuries were not the fault of the family and so he was happily returned to his parents. Ever since then, however, it has a been a worry to keep him safe and yet make sure he feels as much like a normal little boy as possible.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition took this project on because they not only wanted to design a beautiful house but also wanted to make sure it was safe and soft for Ben. The goal was to provide Ben and the Burns family with the tools they needed to strengthen his muscles and benefit him in the long term. We accomplished this goal.
