Extreme Makeover Home Edition - Burns 1 of 5
Dec 1st, 2008 by admin
….Past couple of days has been hard on my family and most of you noticed that I haven’t uploaded in quite some time. As some of you know I just lost my uncle to cancer. He was a great man with 10 children and many grand children. He would visit us every Christmas, New Years, and Mothers Day with all of his kids. He always took care of his children and that I would never forget. May you rest in peace Uncle Kini and may your presence in Heaven be a blessing to your Wife, children, and grand children.
Aired - November 28,
When Benjamin Burns was born in 1997, he was an apparently healthy baby boy. Six months later, Benjamin’s sister was playing with her baby brother and, when he started to fall, she reached out to help him. But when she grabbed his arm, she unknowingly fractured it. In the weeks that followed, routine tasks performed by Benjamin’s parents resulted in more visits to the hospital and led to the discovery that his arm had been re-injured and he had a fractured skull. Eventually, Child Protective Services was called and Benjamin was separated for three months from his parents, who were accused of child abuse. Nothing could have been further from the truth, and loving parents Gerald and Ellen Burns spent every resource they had trying to get their son back and prove their innocence. When it was finally diagnosed that Benjamin suffers from Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder characterized by bones that break easily, the Burns were cleared of the abuse charges and allowed to bring their son home.
