MEDFIELD, Mass. -- A Medfield family's dream has come true and it all unfolded on national television Sunday night. Their old house has been transformed thanks to ABC's Extreme Makeover, Home Edition show.

Now the Johnsons have a house that's accessible to their son William, who suffers from spinal-muscular atrophy, and a famous player from the Red Sox, Curt Schilling, helped to make sure it had plenty of Fenway flair.

NewsCenter 5's Amalia Barreda reported that William Johnson, 6, confined to a wheelchair, had never been able to get around his family's old farmhouse home with any ease. But now, he flies around the family's new dream home, transformed by the hit ABC show to accommodate his disability. His family said it means living one step closer to normalcy.

"The other day he had a little friend and they were just, like, playing chase in the house and I thought, 'I would never stop that play right now because they are chasing each other and running around and playing tag in the house and that's what kids who are 6 do," his mother, Heidi Johnson, said.

"I think the biggest thing for William is he can decide where he wants to be," his father, Tripp Johnson, said.

"I can get upstairs easily. I don't have to be carried," William said, pointing to a new in-house elevator that's big enough for a sibling to go along for the ride between floors.

The Johnsons are also famous in the neighborhood for being major sports fans. Now their house reflects their love of the Boston Red Sox, where the new family room is a shrine to the team, including a framed blueprint of the original plans for Fenway Park, along with a pair of pitcher Curt Schilling's cleats, Jason Varitek's signed catcher's gear and pictures, balls and Sox glassware. William's room is full of Red Sox paraphernalia and the back yard is a mini-Fenway Park with a Green Monster to scale and a working scoreboard where William can zip around the bases on his wheelchair to steal bases.

"The emotional things about this house are the chasm that most people don't see, from what William has had to do to what he can do now," his dad, Tripp, said.

"The first time he comes in for lunch all by himself from the backyard playing with a friend, I'm bawling, into the peanut butter and jelly, because it's so amazing. It's been a month of dehydration through tears. And they're all happy tears, they really are," Heidi Johnson said.

Sunday night at a thank-you party for all the volunteers, William received a new handicapped accessible bike and the family received a check for $30,000 from the community. The volunteers also received gift bags from the family.
