Sixteen brothers and sisters massaged and exercised her leg. Her parents gave her heat and water treatments. Everybody helped. At eight years old, Wilma had a leg brace. Even when she had a limp, she played basketball with her brothers and sometimes, by herself. When she was 11 years old, she played basketball on her bare feet. Everyone was amazed.
