for me right now okay and I'll explain everything can you do that foreign you were in a very bad car accident an oncoming track hit you guys the driver fell asleep and when he woke up he tried to Swerve but he collided with you guys on the passenger side of your mom's car unfortunately it was a hit and run the driver took off before the police could get any information when the ambulance arrived you were unconscious we had to perform emergency surgery in your back to save your life but unfortunately the impact to your lumbar vertebrae your lower back resulted in paralysis below the waist yeah no no no no no no I can't be true no no please please tell me that that can't be that can't be true but I'll re I recover right I go I'll give back to to walking and wrestling and stuff in a couple weeks or something right and I'm I'm sorry Theo due to the severity of your injury the studies give you about a two percent chance of ever being able to walk again [Music] I'm going to be transparent with you you'll likely be a new wheelchair for the rest of your life Theo [Music] yeah can you try moving them at all no oh so frustrated it's okay put it back it's only been a month we'll just keep trying okay it's okay [Music] [Music] it's your question no I'm not okay I hate being stuck here it's wrestling I can't believe you do not have to give up on all of your dreams you don't have to give up on anything there are a lot of things that you can do you could be a writer or a programmer or all I've ever wanted to be was a wrestling mom do that too there are other leaves I don't want to compete in another League I want to compete in my league right after I almost got the sponsor ship too I could have changed everything for us well there's still hope the doctor said that there's a two percent chance of you walking again and I have always told you when there's a will there's no way Mom I'm working as hard as possible since I've gotten here and I've I've made I've made no progress none just [Music] I'm never gonna walk again [Music] what was that in your purse nothing don't fight me well my son eviction notice then our insurance wouldn't cover the rest of your treatments so I haven't been paying the rent but I don't want you to worry I have been looking for a second job the sooner where are you gonna stay with Grandma you standing with Grandma no I want to be as close to you as I can okay so then you're stayed in the car you're in the car right right it was totaled I've been catching the bus to get here so then where are you gonna stay I don't know I don't know there there's some local shelters around I'll probably end up at that I just can't believe I may not have a home for you to come no no hey Mom you're not oh that's more really you you've always been there for me and supported me through everything I [Music] I just don't want you to give up love okay [Music] okay it on one condition you can't give up hope either all right no matter what that you keep fighting [Music] all your life you've done things that other people said was impossible this is no different as long as you don't give up can you promise me that [Music] Theo decides from that moment forward no matter what happens he's going to keep trying he keeps doing physical therapy it isn't easy he constantly feels frustrated at the lack of progress after months of work he still can't move any of his lower body many times he feels like giving up [Music] but remembering his promise to his mom he keeps on fighting [Music] eventually he's able to move his toes [Music] and then his foot after months of hard work he's able to start walking a little everyone's shocked at all the progress he's making his mom couldn't be more proud and then after a lot of time of intense therapy he's even able to go back to pursuing his dream no I thought the doctor said it would be near impossible for you to well if there's one thing anyone should know about my boy that he'd never let anyone telling him something's impossible stop him so he came to watch yeah came to Russell I don't think that's a good idea maybe we should take some time all I've had is is time respectfully sir I I don't want to wait anymore hey yo Stanley yeah Let's Roll are you sure long overdue wow me in the middle shake hands Russell you sure about this Theo don't have to send you back to the hospital or maybe yeah finish him pick it up you can get out yeah nice you got this man take them down okay thank you [Music] all right are you good man oh I'm so proud I can't believe I lost oh you were so amazing especially since it's been so long since you wrestled you don't know where you can be and I gotta say I'm very impressed Theo and this is your first match back right yeah thanks we spoke a few years ago prior to your accident which I'm very sorry about by the way are you the recruiter yes ma'am I was talking to your coach he told me about your journey over the past few years and I gotta say it's the most inspiring story I've ever heard in my life hey you yeah yeah I just wish I hadn't missed out on that scholarship opportunity uh yeah I really Coulda changed their lives missed out if anything the opportunity's gotten bigger if you're still interested I can probably get you 50 000 now but some sort of joke or something not at all Brands all over the world are looking for inspirational stories like yours and if you wrestle like you did today that number is only going to get bigger oh my gosh you know this be anything that we don't have to live in a shelter anymore oh my God no [Music] because of us um sir just out of curiosity if if I were to become number one and stay around how much would I be making for that number one in the state there's a lot of great wrestlers here in the state I don't want to get your hopes up because that might be impossible you must not know my son thank you thank you so much sir congratulations oh my gosh did you look at that [Music] you're partially so good so good almost as good as a pasta you're making I'm not quite dumb yeah well I know I did want to open a restaurant no that probably never happened why not how much it costs and it takes a lot of time I'm not in my 20s anymore so a white person once told me it was well there's a way there's a way exactly can I get you guys anything else yes um can we have a dessert menu please awesome that then don't even think about paying for it Mom I got it okay I know you got it baby I am not gonna fight with you about that anymore it's just actually looking for my keys oh
