Ty Pennington and the Extreme Makeover Home Edition design crew travel to Middleton, ID for tonight’s episode. The team will be building a new dream house for the Stockdale family.
The Stockdale family consists of high school sweethearts Ryan and Karia Stockdale and their four children. The Stockdale children all suffer from a rare disease known as Eosinophilic Enteropathy. This disease is a white blood cell disease. It attacks proteins, preventing the ingestion and digestion of food. The disease also affects and causes
diseases of the lungs, kidneys, blood, intestines and immune system.
The children’s names are Kayden, Jetty, Baylee, and McKinnon. Kayden was born with Gastroschisis, where the intestines are outside the body. Kayden had to undergo two surgeries to correct. Jetty and Baylee have to bed with feeding tubes because of their condition. McKinnon is the youngest Stockdale child, and she was born two months premature.
In addition to the children, the parents have also suffered some health problems. Ryan had been diagnosed with Migraine Glaucoma. The same disease recently lead to his brother’s blindness. Karia suffered some complications while pregnant with McKinnon, and she had to undergo five major surgeries.
Even with all the medical problems, the parents are very active in their community. They created a book drive and ran instrument drive for their school. Karia is a tutor and head of a humanitarian group.
The family’s home has several problems such as a coal-burning furnace and a weak plumbing system. Because the family has to get their water from an indoor well, they can only run one water-using appliance at a time.

This episode hurts …
This episode hurts my heart so much. I want everything for this family. These kids are so blessed to have the wonderful people as parents. I have so much respect for the dad. I think he would benefit greatly from meeting with Patrick Henry Hughes, the 19 year old blind man who is very inspiring when facing the “impossible.”

Their dad must be like superman to them he is for me.

Its not supposed to be able to pass from one family member to another the chances that the second child would have the disease was rare, but 4 children hardly heard of at all impossible. They would have no way of knowing that all their kids would be sick, they were probably just praying they would have at least one healthy child.

not to mention it’s not supposed to be a hereditary disease. Sometimes freak accidents occur, my brother and I were both born with neurological cancer (totally unrelated types) but my sister was born healthy. Strange things happen…
It may be that they …
It may be that they didn’t find out until after they were all born. I have heard of that happening.

I feel sorry for them, but they should not have more than one or two kids once they saw that the sickness happens in every kid.
