  3. Congratulations on the house!!!

    My daughter also has a rare condition so we know what medical bills are.

    She has too much norepinephrine in her system. So she is opposite Kayla, she can’t get cold. Warmer the better. She also has had the decompression surgery. We have been home bound for about 7.5 years.

    I am glad you have some answers.

    Keep up the good work! Being a Mom and Dad are the most important jobs in the world.

  4. You are such an inspiration Kim and I feel blessed to have seen your story on EMHE. Kayla is a beautiful girl and Im so happy she now has a safe home to grow and live. Your whole family just moved me in many ways and I wish all of you much joy in your new home! Big hugs to Kayla, Joshua and Jeremy and extra big hugs to you for all that you do. Bless You!

  5. Oh my!!! I LOVED the episode. I made the comment “Kim is going to cry during every interview” Was I wrong…………Michele (ball) and I cried during the entire show!! It was just incredible!!! You guys did great….the kids are huge and great….the house is great….everything you were blessed with was GREAT!!! We had sooooo many memories as we sat and watched. I could see myslef on the couch with Kayla watching Veggie Tales 🙂 Would love to hear from you!! Love, Leah Evans

  6. Mrs Woodhouse, have you checked into Dermatitis Herpetiformis (form of Celiac Disease) as a cause of your daughter’s ‘eczema’? My doctors called my case eczema (among other things) until I stumbled upon gluten as a dietary trigger. When I eliminated gluten, the problem subsided. It takes many days to weeks for the body to eliminate the IgA from the skin.

  7. Hi, Kayla. I’m Aidan. I’m 8 years old and live in Indiana. I just watched your show on TV. It was awesome and I’m really happy for you. How did it feel when you got your new house? I hope you like your new room. From, Aidan.

    Hello! This is Julie, Aidan’s mom. Aidan has never asked to write to someone he hasn’t met before, so I really felt compelled to help him. He has a huge heart and was really touched by your story. God bless you all and we wish you many happy memories in your new home.

  10. I loved the show and you have such an incredible family! My six-year old son was recently diagnosed with HSAN, so I could relate to many of the things you have gone through. Ours is likely a different type of HSAN than Kayla’s because we don’t have the same temperature regulation challenges she does, but the safety and lack of pain perception issues are the same. We haven’t met any other families with HSAN, and our family would so appreciate an opportunity to connect via email or by phone to share information and ideas (and with Gaby’s family, too, if they would be willing to do so). We can be reached at ava.bartley@comcast.net. Thank you and blessings to you all and your amazing family. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers!

  11. What a beautiful, loving, God honoring family. I rejoice with you all in the gift of the house you were blessed with! It has been a joy getting to know you on the David Phelps message boards! It was awesome to see him on the show as well. May God continue to bless you as you all! What a testimony you all are despite the trials you’ve remained faithful!

  12. Hi Woodhouse Family,
    I was really inspired by your story on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. My mother specializes in Biofeedback and Neurofeedback, so I've grown up around it and seen its vast benefits. I was wondering if this was an option that you have looked into as a way of treating/controlling Kayla's condition. It can be used to regulate body temperature as well as stimulate nerve endings.

    All my best,
    Amanda
