Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

The SIMPSON Family - SAVANNAH, GA

"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" continues its mission to honor special everyday heroes and heads to Sannavah, GA to rebuild a home for a family of five that is conducive to the needs of 2-year-old Zo?, who was born prematurely with health problems. "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" airs SUNDAY, JAN 16 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Ty and the team head south to Savannah where the Simpson family is in dire need of a brand new home. Carmen and Jim Simpson have three beautiful kids. Their son, Isaac, is eight. Daughter, Katelyn, is four. Youngest son, Zoe, is two.

Zoe has had a slew of medical problems from the moment he was born. He wasn't even supposed to live. Thankfully, Zoe didn't know that. His heart never even skipped a beat when doctors took him off the respirator. He was called the Miracle Baby! And even though Zoe is an incredible boy, he still needs a lot of assistance. His family needs help in the form of a new home. Well, help is on the way!

Celebrity chef Paula Deen helps surprise the family at her southern-style restaurant. Carmen has to pinch Ty to make sure he's real. Well, Ty's the real deal and the family home is a real mess. Tracy takes on skateboarder Isaac's room while Paul tries to give Katelyn a place a princess would love. Ed knows the home needs space for Zoe to maximize his potential and, hopefully, walk across the new floor someday soon. And whenever the family wants to go for a ride, they'll be able to do so in their new 2011 Ford Explorer!

Georgia-born Ty takes Tracy on a tour of Savannah to show her the kind of home he hopes to build. Later, Paula Deen pops by to give her thoughts on the tiles that should adorn the ceiling. Paul and Ed take a ride on steamboat to get some ideas for Zoe's therapy room. The plan for Zoe's bedroom is to make it as loud and brightly-colored as possible. Finally, skateboarding legends Shaun and Jesse White stop by to lend their expertise for Isaac's room. Let's roll!

The Simpson family has a "wish list" of things they'd like to do for other people. The team makes a few of those wishes come true. They provide an engagement ring for a friend so that he can finally propose to the love of his life. She says yes! There's also a huge food and clothing drive to benefit those who need help in Savannah.
