âSuch a blessingâ: Boy, 3, with mobility difficulties gifted off-road wheelchair By KIVI Staff | January 17, 2021 at 11:17 PM CST - Updated January 17 at 11:17 PM
SUN VALLEY, Idaho (KIVI) - A 3-year-old boy in Idaho who has difficulties using his arms and legs will now get the opportunity to play outdoors like other kids, thanks to a specialized off-road wheelchair.
Saturday marked a special day for the Wallace family as 3-year-old Teddy received a new off-road wheelchair. The boy was born with arthrogryposis, a condition that makes it difficult for him to use his arms and legs.
âItâs just been such a blessing. I was definitely crying,â said Beth Wallace, Teddyâs mother. âHe has had nine surgeries in his short 3 and a half years of life. He has physical therapy every week and occupational therapy and has been through a lot.â
