A six-year-old boy who was described as very active goes from limping intermittently to needing a wheelchair full-time within months. Coverage reports that the change happens after he experiences difficulties that progress from occasional discomfort to mobility problems serious enough to require a wheelchair.
Across the outlets, the family provides context for how the symptoms begin and evolve. One account emphasizes that he initially seemed to be growing into his body, with his parent attributing early limping to growing pains. Another highlights that he suddenly wakes up unable to get out of bed, framing the shift as abrupt rather than gradual.
