Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Bliven Family

The hugely popular Extreme Makeover: Home Edition comes to North Dakota to help the Bliven Family. The show airs Sunday October 15 8pm EST.

Bill and Michelle Bliven have a son with cerebral palsy, Aaron Bliven. When their son’s baseball team told him that he was too much of a health risk to have on the local team. Michelle took this as an opportunity to start her own little league team , Dream Catchers, a baseball league for special needs kids.

Aaron, now 14 has moved up to a larger wheelchair and it no longer fits in the 20 year old home, and the family has resorted to carrying Aaron to each room of the house. His dad, Bill suffered 2 heart attacks and can no longer carry his son which leaves only his mom, Michelle.

Extreme Makeover steps in to totally redesign the family home to accommodate Aaron’s special needs. Read more inspirational stories about cerebral palsy.
