Students adapt wheelchair to allow teacher s husband to take baby for a walk after brain surgery By Chip Reid Students adapt wheelchair for teacher s husband and newborn
When Phoenix King was born four months ago, his parents Jeremy and Chelsie faced a difficult road ahead. Jeremy had brain surgery three years ago to remove a brain tumor, Chelsie said, which left him with what she described as some physical challenges and physical disabilities.
One big question: How could Jeremy safely take Phoenix for a walk?
Chelsie, a teacher at Bullis School, a private school in Potomac, Maryland, reached out to the head of the school s technology lab Matt Zigler. He then presented the challenge to his students including Jacob Zlotnitsky and Ibenka Espinoza, both of whom hope to study astrophysics in college.
