Family of Chinese baby born with 15 fingers and
16 toes are seeking help for surgery. The couple
live in the rural Hunan province and can barely
afford to gather fund for the surgery.
According to People's Daily, local doctors are also
saying the baby, named Honghong, has an
extreme case of polydactyly, and that surgery -
even if they could afford it would be difficult. The
surgery could cost hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
Honghong's condition came to his parents' shock
because his mother has polydactyly too, (she has
12 fingers and 12 toes) and therefore had gone
for numerous pre-natal scans.
The scans, reportedly done in hospitals in
Shenzhen, China, which included an advanced
four-dimensional ultrasound, all turned out
negative, as doctors reassured her the baby
would have the regular number of fingers and
toes.
