STAR, Idaho Alex and Tamara Fox welcomed their third baby boy, Karston, to their family in 2010. The Star couple was stunned to find he was born with a condition that impacts the ability to use his legs called arthrogryposis.
“When Karston was born, we did not know that there would be any problems so it was quite the shock,” said Tamara Fox, Karston’s mom. “He s had several surgeries for his hips and legs, and there will be several more surgeries to come, but he is truly the light of our life.”
