A little about me. . .

My name is Maia and I am a SAHM of 3. Hannah was born 3/99, Kirstine 2/01, and Seth 6/02, yes I am very busy. LOL We live in Riverside County California, about 50 miles East of Disneyland.

Seth to our surprise was born with a sixth toe on his right foot. It sits on the outside of his pinky toe, making his foot very wide, he can't even wear booties. His extra toe has a bone and nail, the only thing it is missing is a joint. To our knowledge no one on either my side or DH's side of the family has ever had an extra toe. I really don't know what is going to be done about it. His ped said we can have it removed at one year of age.

I hope to meet other parents of polydactyl children.

Maia

getting your sons toes removed
hi i was born with 6 toes on each foot and 6 fingers on each hand. please becareful while choosing the proper path for surgery. my toes were all inline you couldnt even tell there were extras until you stopped and counted. but the surgeon removed the toe one the inside as opposed to the last one. my pinky toe is very very small and tehre is a large noticable gap from where the toe stops and the rest begin. i cant wear a lot of sandals because my lil toe sticks out through the straps. my mom wished she had had an idea this would happen so i thought other people may want a heads up to...look at all angles of surgery options and how it will look 20 years form now! :)
