"They started asking for a robotic arm to help her feel more confident, and we decided it was a great idea and should look into it," said Bateman, 31.
"I loved it so much - I could function like a full human," she said. "I was able to steal my dad's hat. When they fit me for my arm, I told them I wanted it to be pink."
"They were used as more of a tool," Bateman said of her daughter's artificial arms, noting that the family's health insurance covered the cost.
"In the fall, Jami and Josh Bateman took Remi to Denver to meet with a consultant from Open Bionics. The company fits people who have below-elbow limb differences with lightweight, 3D-printed prostheses known as Hero Arms, which function more like a natural arm and hand."
