Hughes Home Unveiled Nationally Tomorrow

Back in November I did an entry on Patrick Hughes and his family who got a new home thanks to Extreme Makeover Home Edition.  If you don't know who Patrick is or why he and his father are so deserving of this gift for their family, please read that entry here.  The episode airs tomorrow on ABC.  I believe it is 8 p.m. ET, and it is a two-hour episode.  Our local ABC affiliate has been airing teasers for the past week.  They will be doing a special on Monday about many of the special things about the house and the local contractors who volunteered their time and equipment on the project, including a technical firm run by twins, who designed special voice-activated controls for Patrick.  I look forward to the episode tomorrow.

I watch this show every Sunday night that it airs.  The Hughes family is certainly deserving of this gift of a home and equipment that will help Patrick live his life more abled than not.  He and his dad (and yes, his family) are the most amazing and inspirational men.  Truly.
