NEW YORK - Jeshuah Fuller's parents expected him to be born with extra
fingers. The extra toes, though, were a surprise.
Jeshuah, healthy and weighing 7 pounds, was born in Brooklyn on Tuesday
with 12 fingers and 12 toes. His rare condition, called polydactylism, is
usually genetic.
His dad was born with an extra finger on his left hand. His mom, Quana
Morris, said she'd had an ultrasound image taken during her pregnancy and
knew the baby would have extra fingers.
"We were counting them on the sonogram," she told the Daily News.
She didn't know he would have 12 toes, she said. He'll have all the extra
digits surgically removed in a couple of weeks, his mom said.
