I was happy to see that the episode of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” featuring the Grys family of Pekin, Ill., aired last week on ABC. I spent a year following the Grys family’s youngest member, Jake, an 8-year-old with a rare and life-threatening combination of osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle-bone disease) and dwarfism. My original post was lost when I accidentally destroyed my old blog, so I’m posting the story again with a link to the online broadcast of the show. To see it go here. It’s episode 13. I don’t think they keep the episodes up for more than a week or so, so be sure to look before they take it down! I’m also proud to note that an image from my story – a wide shot of Jake on the operating table – was featured on the show. I’m glad I was able to help tell his story to a new audience.
I love the whole idea of making over a house for people in need. I always like to watch Extreme Makeover because it makes me feel good that people are working hard to makethem happy again and their lives a little easier.
David, we treasure what photos we have that were taken by you. It was a great experience! Thanks Jeannie

Fioricet contains a combination of acetaminophen, butalbital, and caffeine. Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer.
Butalbital is in a group of drugs called barbiturates. It relaxes muscle contractions involved in a tension headache.
Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It relaxes muscle contractions in blood vessels to improve blood flow.
Fioricet is used to treat tension headaches that are caused by muscle contractions.
Fioricet may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
This combination drug product is intended as a treatment for tension headache.
It consists of a fixed combination of butalbital, acetaminophen, and caffeine. The role each component plays in the relief of the complex of symptoms known as tension headache is incompletely understood.
My children wanted to write Jake letters and draw him pictures. I know his name, pekin, IL, but there are three zip codes. Do you have a way I can get these letters to him. If so, reply to my email address.
Thank you!
