It was a great show. And they have a daughter who has autism, too (she wasn't on the show). No wonder they needed help with the house, two children in the family with problems! I loved the fact that they created a room to celebrate Jimmy Boy, not to suffer and mourn, but to celebrate his life.
It touched me that this family didn't find hard to give up almost every basic need just to help their son and brother. When you read Gina's account on their site, about having to let go of their son, and before that, having to enroll their daughter Jessica in a school because they couldn't help her at home anymore... it really made me cry. Congratulations to Extreme Makeover and all the people who help to rebuild lives across USA.moreless
AIRED:
Somers, NY - The Arena family are given an extreme makeover. Jim and Gina Arena lost their six year old son, "Jimmy Boy", when he died of a brain tumor. The family used all their money on treatment and medicine, but that didn't help. They also have six girls and one more baby on the way.moreless
