Aired - December 2, 2007
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 couple …
This couple deserves to have their mortgage paid off, student loans forgiven, a free ride to all the education they want, a fund set up for maintenance of the new home, a fund set up to take care of medical bills, the rest of their debt paid off, two new vehicles from Ford, a paid live-in nanny/nurse to help with the kids and all the prayers and hugs they want.
And I just heard what CVS Pharmacy did for them! I’m SO happy!
I think its amazing …
I think its amazing how a lot of people on here act as if they know all about this disease like they are doctors or something, pardon me people if you know everything about it and what the parents did wrong why don’t you take that time to GO FIND A CURE! Do something better with your time than insult people over something they have no control over, you make me sick! maybe they found out about the sickness after they had the children ever think of that?
i cant belive u …
i cant belive u said that crazy water, 1. they weren’t diegnosed at birth and did u ever think maybe they thought they had a chance of having a healthy child and how dare you try to find them at fault!
I hope someone …
I hope someone finds a cure for the kids Disese.
In the introduction …
In the introduction of this episode they said that it wasn’t inheritery nor does it run in the family. Also it’s a very rare disease so it will have taken the docters a while to diagnose it, and for this disease the symptoms may vary so it might not have been clear in the beginning that the kids all had the same disease. Also this is a auto-immune disease and those diseases can have a late onset, although I couldn’t find anything on the onset in my books(i’m in med-school)
sounds harsh but …
sounds harsh but you may be right. why have so many kids… :/
The kids sickness …
The kids sickness is because of a gene combination from the parents. The parents should go through medical/DNA exams. Having more than one sick kid was a terrible mistake on their behalf. You don’t have 4 kids once the first 2 have the same sickness! Now those kids are going to suffer for all of their lives because of a stupid decision. I hope that after extreme makeover they realize their mistake, because they seem good people that care about their kids a lot.
