9-year-old Brayden Chee seemed destined for roping greatness almost as soon as he took his first steps as a toddler, but a roping accident nearly derailed his plans. Dr. Kathryn King with Phoenix Childrens successfully reattached his thumb that had been severed but advised him an upcoming competition was out of reach. However, at a follow-up appointment three days before the competition, he asked for his splint to be trimmed lower down so his good fingers could move more freely. It freed up his dexterity when doing schoolwork. Little did they know, what he really wanted was to hold his rope again.
