Doctors Stunned After Baby Born With 12 Fingers And 12 Toes

A boy who was born with 12 fingers and 12 toes has left his parents and doctors confused, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, UK.

Jacob Duffy was supposed to be perfectly healthy but afther his birth seven months ago it was clear – he is an unusual child. Jacob has extra toes and fingers, with some of them having three phalanges instead of two. He also had a number of other birth defects, including a hole in his heart and serious eye problems, besides, he has an allergy to dairy products, and difficulty swallowing.

Recalling the day Jacob was born his mother Rachael Hendry said: “We were shocked when he was born and saw his little finger – at first we just thought that he had broken it. My pregnancy was completely normal then we counted the digits and that was the first time we noticed something was wrong. We joked around a bit at first and said that at least he will be good on the piano – but obviously we quickly realised that things were a bit more serious.

Doctors don’t want to remove his extra digits until he is 12 months old because they don’t want to put him under anaesthetic – even though one toe is really loose and could affect his walking. I quite like the extra fingers and I don’t really want the surgeons to chop them off but kids are quite cruel and I could hardly send him to school with them. He’s doing really well now and the focus is on how he develops like any other baby. He has so many defects that it can’t just be coincidence.”

As Jacob’s medical condition remains undiagnosed, his doctors and parents are waiting on the results of the medical tests, According to Ms Hendry and Mr Duffy, despite a series of surgeries the brave baby boy is doing well, he got used to various medical procedures and is playful and cheerful child. His parents are now raising money for his treatment by any means, trying to give their baby a normal life.

The normally $10,000-a night Airbnb listing is located in Rancho Mirage, which is just a 25 minute drive from the festival in Indio, California. Lady Gaga replaced Beyonce as the headliner for Coachella; Beyonce pulled out of the festival shortly after announcing that she's pregnant with twins.

While prepping for her Coachella gig, the Grammy award winning songstress rested at the mega estate, which has 360 degree mountain views and a resort style pool. The kitchen had st...

Why Detroit has the largest satanist temple chapter in the US

The "largest public satanic ceremony in history" took place last Saturday in Detroit, a city that has the largest and oldest chapter of a national Satanist organization. The group unveiled a nearly 9-foot tall bronze statue of a goat-headed Baphomet in a private ceremony attended by 600 ticket holders, Lucien Graves, co-founder of the national Satanic Temple organization in Boston. The Satanic Temple in Detroit has more than 200 registered members. "They are so active and well-organized," Graves said. "There's probably been another wave of interest since this event." The Detroit chapter is the first of the national organization, Graves said. He credits the Detroit chapter's founder Jex Blackmore with the growth of the chapter since it was established there in August 2014. "It's more or less because of her. She was just a very confident person who started working with us," Graves said further. The pair...
